[Authors Notes: Ya, first chapter of my SH story. Not some "OMG, Driving, crash, attacked, run. This is supposed to focus more on the plot and character elements of Silent Hill and not the brutal violence and Pyramid Heads every other SH fanfic has. Enjoy.

Dedicated to my sister, Krista.

As the shape fell from dark to light in the cool, crisp water, Nathan shook his head, looking up at the cloudy skies, making the day dull and dark. When he could no longer see what he had thrown into the ocean, he turned around, quickly moving into his sedan and starting it up, pulling away from the lighthouse and the docks onto the road. His name was Nathan Holloway, and he was not the type of person to make such a rash decision, yet he had no choice.

Silent Hill: Eternal Twilight

The lighthouse is 5.2 miles outside of Silent Hill, to the north. It is on the other side of the lake from the town, and you have to take the highway into Silent Hill. That was always a dead town, nothing really ever happened there. I rubbed my eyes heavily, my hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. The city seemed to phase in around me, as if like smoke. Before I knew it, I was in the center of town, the fog was so thick that I didn't realize I was there. My car screeched and slammed into a bus stop, the top falling on the hood of my car. My radio went from Interpol to static. My eyes struggled to stay open as I felt blood run down my cheek, my windshield in an intricate pattern from the damage. I managed to crawl to the other side and push open the door, watching it fall to the ground. I climbed out, looking around at near blinding fog. There was no human around me, no sign of life...

My clock was broken and my radio was smashed, but it was still playing static. It was about 8:30 though, and it felt like it did down at the docks. I rubbed my cheek smearing the blood on my hands and face. I looked at my hand intently, zooming in and out of focus. It took me a minute to see that I was standing in the middle of a street, the left side of my car crashed into a bus stop that fell on it, out in a city that had no life what so ever. I clenched my hand and rubbed all of the blood on my cheek off. What was around here? I have only been here a couple of times, I live in Ashfield, a town outside of Silent Hill.
