"Danny, why do you have to always go on business trips during the holidays?" Jennifer Brown said to her husband as she stood at the sink drying dishes.

"You know I have no control over that honey." He took a sip of his coffee, the steam fogged his glasses as the hot liquid touched his lips, burning them a tad. He retracted his hand and with a slight sign of pain then he sat the mug back onto the table. With a paper in his hand, he read the headline that ran, "Man Crashes into Local Supermarket."

It was a beautiful April morning, the sun shining and the birds chirping. The light reflected off Jennies long red hair. It peered into the kitchen, hitting the table of which Dan had sat his morning beverage. The room looked very retro, but cozy. A sign reading "Home Sweet Home" hung over the door from to the behind him.

"I know but it just seems so unfair to the kids." The dish she had in her hand squeaked against the rag in her hand.

"If I could change it I really would." He ruffled his paper and looked for an interesting passage. "I really don't like missing the holidays, you know this as well."

She nodded her head and went ahead with her dish washing.

Dan and Jennie met some fifteen years ago in a Red Lobster. Dan was trying to get a good salesmen job but at the moment the business wasn't so hot. He was forced to get a second job there and he and her made eyes at each other.

When they first met she was a taken woman, by selfish jerk by the name of Maren Thompson. He would always come into the restaurant, thinking he was hot stuff because he was enrolled in an uppity up college in the best part of town. Truth was, the only reason he got in was because of his rich fathers contacts. His father was the owner of a very successful business named "Tarrys Music." He over a span of nine years managed to get several shops opened across state and make a pretty pennie for himself and others. Dan would watch as he would shout, "Don't you know who my father is" if someone didn't do to suit him.

He was disgusted with him, and often told her she could do better but she never listened.

One day, he did something to set Jennie off. Her friend, Carrie, was waiting for him and he made very rude and ugly comments to her the entire night. She went back into the kitchen and cried and when Jennie figured out what he'd done she went back to his table.

"Hey you snob! You stick this relationship right up your ass!" She picked up his coke that he had setting next to his plate and threw it all over him.

Surprised he stormed out, but he didn't leave. After her shift, she went out to her car that was behind the restaurant and fumbled with her keys.

"Hey!" He ran up to her. "What was that all about!?"

Dan was standing there out of sight, stacking boxes for the garbage man the next day.

"You know what's it's about! This is over!" She shouted and pointed he finger in his face.

He pushed her hand out of his face and grabbed her by the shoulders. "No! It's over when I say it is!" He shook her.

Taking no more, Dan ran up to them. "Hey Maren!"

The childish fool looked up to Dan to see his fist approaching his face. Punching him with all his might and breaking his nose, he lost grip on her and fell to the ground. Humiliated and blood running down his face, he bolted to his car and drove away, fast. They never saw him again.

"Th-thanks Dan." She said, relieved. "But I could have took him myself."

"You keep saying that!" He smiled

The two smiled and went along with their business. Over the next few years they dated each other and then married. They had a son named Jason and a daughter name Ginger.

Jason was now thirteen and Ginger eight, they were both very good children.

Jason was polite and kind, like his mother. He developed an protective behavior like his father, both very good. On a special occasion, when he was ten, three boys were picking on another for a certain piece of clothing he wore. It wasn't important, it was a Spiderman shirt and all the boys had Batman. Jason walked over and very intelligent for his age told them off, and with no fighting managed to send them on their way.

Ginger was as intelligent but mousy. She didn't like to stick up for herself a lot but her wide array of great friends would do it for her. Wasn't the greatest thing but come on, she's only eight. She'll have plenty of time to develop self-confidence.

"Where are you going this time?" She asked while looking outside at the Robins that stood on the white fence outside, their dog Duke barking at them from a distance.

"Well-"

"Daddy!" Ginger yelled from the kitchen door, running and hugging his leg.

"Morning sweetheart!" He picked her up and hugged her, sitting her on his lap.

Ginger was always a daddy's girl, everyone knew it. He always took up for her no matter what.

"Morning dad." Jason said, rubbing his eyes.

"Morning son." They smiled at each other and Jason pulled out a chair and sat in it.

His eyes had dark circles under them and he could barley keep himself upright.

"Tired?" Dan asked.

Jason was notorious for having rough nights. Sometimes it was nightmares and other times it was that he would think too much. He had been taken to the doctor for his nightmares when he was seven but they could find nothing wrong with him. Personally, Dan thought they were just quack doctors but they couldn't find any others that would look at their son. Over time, the nightmares depleted in number and it was only every now and then that it happened.

Jason nodded at his father and lay his head on the table and closed his eyes, falling fast asleep.

"So, where are you going today daddy?" Ginger asked, sad as she did. She looked at the material he was reading but looked back up to him, uninterested.

"Well, I have to go out of town, but Ill be back soon!" He rubbed her shoulder while he read on.

"Awwww! But Ill miss you!! You promise you'll be back soon!?" She asked, curious and disappointed from her fathers departure.

"Yes, I promise sweetie." He folded his paper and sat in down in front of him and looked at her. "They even gave me a quicker route there so I should be back a lot earlier than usual." He smiled at her.

She giggled and jumped down. "Yay!" She ran out of the room.

"So, what's this route Danny?" Jennie asked.

He glanced up at his wife, "well, its through some backwoods town I've never heard of." He leaned forward and grabbed his coffee mug as Jason sat snoring loudly with his face planted against the table..

"What's the name of it?" She sat her dishes down and gazed at him.

He took a big slurp of the satisfying drink and then turned his head to her. "Silent Hill."
