Prologue~
It had been 3 years. 3 since the outbreak in Raccoon City, but I believed something else was occurring. My thoughts arose more and more as I researched it. The B.O.W.s never went away, attacks grew increasing common throughout the world, yet it seemed like nothing big.
My searches brought me to a small town called Silent Hill. I don't remember how long I've been here, nor how I got here.
This town, it seems different. Almost as if something else is in it. My memories have blurred. I wouldn't be surprised if I begin to forget what I'm here for.
I don't believe I'm alone, I hear others but I can't find them. It seems, on the surface, that Silent Hill is just a abandoned town slowly rotting away with time. I have seen a few B.O.W.s in the area, nothing that a few handgun rounds couldn't take care of.
What am I doing here? Hm, I guess I had gotten why I'm here. I'll try to remember, remember what led me here.
I'll think back, but to when? Oh yes, I'll go back to the beginning. Not to Raccoon City, that is way too far back. I'll go to right when my searches led me here.
Let me think.
Yes, I was in a library I believe. I had just gotten some old newspapers to look through when my phone rang.
"Hello," I spoke quietly into the phone I had pulled from my jacket pocket.
"Hello, Mr. Oliviera?" a female voice on the other end questioned to see if she had the right number.
"Yes, this is."
"I'm Ingrid Hunnigan, I was told to give you some information to the research you have been conducting."
"I see, and to what is the information that you'll be giving me?"
"It seems for a while there has been strange occurrences in a small town. This could be what you are looking for."
"Maybe..."
"I can send you the location of this town for you to investigate."
"Thank you."
"Also, I'll keep in contact with you during your stay in the town. To help with any trouble you may bump into."
"Ah, good. I always like company," I replied with a hint of humor. With that the conversation was over and I received the location of the town. "Silent Hill huh? Well, I guess this is the only lead I've managed to obtain so it is worth a try."
I exited the library and went to my car. I sighed as I entered the vehicle, this was going to be a long ride. I started up the car and pulled out the parking lot. I drove a bit to the nearest gas station, purchasing a map to find the town.
"The town according to its location should be there, but it is not listed on the map. Maybe a town long forgotten?" I spoke to myself looking over the map quickly. Back at the car, I started to head north to Silent Hill. Maybe a little excitement will be good, I've kept away from anything after Raccoon City.
