Malady

Made for a 48-hour horror filmmaking competition.

After trying to escape from the infected sister, the man runs up through the fire escape stairs, and to the outside, looking for his wife. Shortly after he is outside the fire escape, his wife emerges from the same fire escape stairs that he came from. Considering that there are no places she could have been hiding, and that he was looking specifically for her, there is no way he would have been able to pass by her without noticing she was there.
