Shattered Silence

A Silent Hill Fan Fic

I assume no ownership of any existing Silent Hill characters or monsters that I make reference to, however all original monsters and characters in this story should not by used without my permission

This is my first Silent Hill fan fiction, and my second posted Fan fic. The events in the story take place in the reality of Silent Hill 3. Please note that I am new to the Silent Hill universe if I present any wrong information about Silent Hill. I will create more chapters as I progress through the game. I will discontinue the series if no one seems interested (so please review!) or if the game scares the complete ba-jesus out of me to the point that I cannot continue the game. That being said, I hope you enjoy the story...

All should take care when the silence is shattered, and the creatures awaken.

It was mid afternoon in the coffee shop at the shop at the shopping center. Joey began to think that he should leave for home, seeing as how everyone was beginning to leave. The last person he had seen in the coffee shop was a teenage girl, but she had already left, talking under her breath about a nightmare she had. Joey looked out of the window at the nearby street. A strange, rust red fog seemed to have descended on the town of Silent Hill. Joey didn't care. The weather had been weird enough lately that he had become indifferent to it all.

He grunted as the chair he was in clattered on the floor while it returned to its upright position. He picked up his paper coffee up, discarded it in a trash can, and set off into the shopping mall.

He was walking by when a strange man with gray facial hair and a bald scalp approached him. He pointed with his thumb over his shoulder at the woman's restroom behind him.

"Do you know that young lady?" asked the man.

"What lady?" replied Joey.

Joey could tell that the man was strange so he continued walking on down the hall. He was going to check on his friend, Mark, down at the hunting Depo. Mark had gotten a job there recently and had promised to make sure that his friend got a new model of shotgun they were going to get. Today was the day he had told Joey that they would have them in stock.

Joey had been looking forward to getting the new shotgun. He greatly enjoyed hinting with his father out in the woods. Of course, it was a long drive to the woods where they hunted, but Joey had no problem with boredom. He and his father would talk about how their lives had been going. His dad would talk about how business at the shop was doing; Joey would talk about his performance in college. Both would reminisce about the days when they lived together, and about past hunting trips. But what he enjoyed most of all was the hinting itself. He loved the feel of his finger on the trigger. He loved the adrenaline rush he would get when an animal was in his sights. It was truly the best feeling he had ever had.

Joey thought about this as he pressed the number 2 button in the elevator. The elevator rose for a few seconds, and then suddenly stopped with a jolt. Joey fell down from the sudden shock of the elevator. He rose to his feet and reputedly jammed the number 2 button in the hopes that the elevator would move.

"Crap! How long am I gonna be stuck here?"

Joey suddenly jumped ad a loud thud came from the ceiling. The thud was followed by what sounded like foot steps on top on the elevator roof. Then came pounding as if someone was trying to gain access to the elevator. Joey now was terrified. The pounding persisted relentlessly. Joey's blood had turned ice cold. Another thud was heard and a sizeable dent appeared in the ceiling. The dent vibrated and grew bigger as the pounding persisted. Then the dent ripped open and formed and formed a hole. Joey was face to face with something that could only be described as a dog, though it bore no resemblance to any creature that he had seen. The dog's body was covered in bloody bandages, and where there should have been a head there was only a bulb. The bulb opened to show a deformed mouth with row upon row of sharp, deadly, blood covered teeth. The dog growled. Joey had never been more scared in his life...

Well, there you have it. A classical example of a cliffhanger. Unless you want to be eternally left in the dark about poor Joey's fate I recommend that you review the story. Please give my any advice so long as it does not contain any Silent Hill 3 spoilers. I haven't finished the game yet!
