A fantastic story, some details aren't really clear to me like how the abomination came to be but in the realm of horror, no answer is answer on its own I guess. I find it the "horror on rescue missions" trope always fun to read, cause fire fighters, ambulanciers, police never know what they will find if they are called and the isolation of the scene makes it even more plausible to find something, let us say exotic. But there is still something that bothers me, more a technicality (it could be I read over it) but what is the whole deal with the ammonia? For what was it used (other than a story motive to justify the fact that the firefighters had to investigate Room 311), as with the description you give, it is a large quantity, almost industrial. And another thing about the ammonia. The notion that it smelled distinctively like urine was 1) unnecessary as it was already identified as ammonia by the people and 2) how do you mistake the smell of ammonia with urine? The smell of ammonia is a lot stronger and slightly different and even in low concentrations, easily distinguishable from urine... (But then again, I have known an operator at BASF who described the smell as that of fish...)
