"Silent hill" I wondered that place… My wife Mary went there one day because I said I would bring her back but I never did. Sometimes I have to wonder why in the hell does a place like Silent hill exist.
My name is James Sunderland and I am a psychologist for individuals who are disturbed and have mental problems, suffer from abuse….you name it. Today I am going to deal with 3 individuals. One a rapists named Jonathan, a woman named Evelyn that suffers from anorexia nervosa and low self-esteem, and college student that was molested as a child named Lila.
Today we were all beginning a group therapy session. Everyone was sitting around to tell their story of why they were here in the first place. I looked around at everyone and could tell that none of them wanted to be here in the room with me. As I look out the window I saw warm, bright sunlight spill into the room through the blinds. However that sunshine in the room was darkened by all of their faces. As a doctor I wanted to help them but I thought in my head all these individuals are pretty much fucked up so why do I have to deal with them.
I decided that Jonathan would be the best to start with for today and asked him to start first."So Jonathan let's start with you". Jonathan looked at me sharply and said " Why is it ALWAYS me, I am not a rapists, that girl that I raped could have been lying" I told Jonathan to calm down immediately and that from what his report said, that he raped a female in an alley way. Jonathan said to me "that's not true at all, I have urges but trust me I can control them," Jonathan warned me. "I'm not a rapist" Jonathan claimed to me again I looked at Jonathan he had pale skin and piercing blue eyes with black hair. He didn't fit the rape profile but then again who knows what Jonathan is capable of. I asked Jonathan what kind of urges he had. Lila and Evelyn looked up at me as to communicate "this is going to be good" judging by the looks on their faces. Jonathan said to me" I like to eat when I'm hungry, I will seek the food or maybe if I am feeling really creative I will hunt it instead Mr. James" Jonathan said in a smart alike tone. Lila and Evelyn had the biggest smirks on their faces but I could care less. I was just like them at one point. Fucked up like when I was in Silent hill looking for Mary.
I shifted in my leather chair, becoming uncomfortable and wish I could be somewhere else right now not in this room with these poor souls. I was lost in thought thinking about that deranged woman until I snapped out of it by Jonathan's voice. "Hey Doc how about we take a trip to that town called Silent Hill". I told Jonathan that the place is not for him, Evelyn , or Lila. "Why not" said Jonathan you have been there looking for your wife named Mary and you came back in one piece. I glared at Jonathan and told him that's enough and turned to Lila and Evelyn so they could say their stories for why they are here individually.
Silent Hill, I wondered once again.I began to think about why it was here especially after Jonathan mentioned it. What was his own reason, if he had one for being eager to go there anyway?
