Chapter One
When Mr. Patterson checked the mail that day, he had no idea what he was in store for. In the mailbox at the end of the driveway, he came across a blood stained envelope with an address from a town called Silent Hill. He looked at the envelope strangely. This little note was making him feel strange. He tore open the envelope and began to read the letter inside.
"A letter from your friend who sees our special town, Silent Hill. Angelica, you promised me you'd come back to see me, but you never did. Well, I'm here in that special place of ours. I'm waiting for you here. Please come soon."
Mr. Patterson read the letter several times, trying to figure out what it all meant. He thought at first that it was some sort of joke or prank. However, the letter was written so neatly that it seemed like it couldn't be a joke at all. He had never heard of a town called Silent hill, though. It could've been on the other side of the country for all he knew. Sighing, he headed into the house with the letter. Outside, it was warm. It was actually a hot day in the middle of July. It didn't seem like the time of year where a creepy letter would be in your mail.
Once in the house, Mr. Patterson took off his shoes and went into the kitchen. One of his three sons, Rob Patterson, was sitting on the computer. Twenty years old and the drummer of a band, Rob was your typical high school graduate who had just also finished college and was looking for a place to live. "Where's your sister?" Mr. Patterson asked.
Rob shrugged. "I don't know. She might be over at Liz's for all I know. I haven't heard her all day." He noticed the letter in his Father's hand. "What's that?"
"Some letter for Angelica," he replied. "That's why I'm looking for her." Almost immediately after saying this, Angelica came in through the back door. "Ang, I want you to tell me something," Mr. Patterson said as he approached his daughter. "There's a letter that came for you in the mail."
Angelica smiled as her Father handed her the letter. She looked through it with a confused look. "Who's this from?" she asked.
"That's what I was gonna ask you, honey. Do you have any idea who sent this to you?" Angelica shook her head as she examined the letter again.
"No, Dad. I really don't know. I've never even heard of a place called Silent Hill. It sounds like a weird place, though." Mr. Patterson sighed as Angelica handed him the note. He looked over to Rob surfing the internet for some concert ticket information.
"Rob, can you search this town called Silent Hill?" Mr. Patterson asked. Rob shrugged as he searched it to find a large page on the town's results.
"Silent Hill," Rob began. "Once a peaceful resort town, now an abandoned graveyard. Mine fires are still burning today. Looks like the place is closed up or something. There's mine fires underground." Mr. Patterson looked on with Rob as he searched every website they could find for Silent Hill. It turned out that the place was abandoned and mine fires were still burning under the streets ever since they began about twenty years earlier.
