All I was trying to do was spend some time with Cheryl. We decided on Silent Hill, you know, quaint little town with an amusement park full of rides and tourist traps, the lighthouse on the lake, rows of houses, just a small town. When we got to the outskirts it was already dark, and all I wanted to do was get to a motel. Cheryl was already nearly asleep with her sketchpad on her knee. We were maybe 5 to 10 minutes away from town when the cop overtook us. A motorcycle cop. She took a moment to glance in at Cheryl and I, then continued on down the road, and I wondered is she was from Silent Hill, or one of the other towns. Not far down the road, I saw a wrecked motorbike. The cop's motorbike. I swung my eyes back on the road just a little too late, and tried to avoid hitting the figure that had stepped out in front of me. Then everything went dark.
I don't know exactly how long I was out. All I do know is when I came to, it was daylight, it was snowing in the middle of summer, and that Cheryl was gone. I swear to God that, for a moment, my heart stopped dead. Trying not o panic, I got out of my wrecked jeep and started walking up the road. As I turned a corner, I saw Cheryl just up ahead. I called out to her, but she didn't seem to hear me and ran off into the fog. I followed her down and alley and then I heard a gate close, which I went through, but Cheryl seemed to have disappeared. There was a torn apart corpse on the ground, I think it might have been a dog. Why hadn't Cheryl screamed when she saw it? I kept going down the alley and the strangest thing happened. As I went through another gate, it began to get very dark. It seemed to happen so quickly, and the only light I had was an old lighter. I'm not really too sure what happened next, but I remember a wheelchair, a sheet covered hospital bed, and a strung up corpse. That last one was what really got me. So far I had seen nobody else, so who had put it there? Why was it there? That's when those…. Those things came out of the darkness and began walking slowly towards me. I turned and ran back the way I came, but I hit a dead end! How could that be? I mean, I got in here didn't I? I could hear those things getting closer! They were going to get me because I couldn't get out! I remember one of those things stabbing at me, and the other ones closing in. Is this what happened to Cheryl?
