A little experiment I'm doing with dialect. Yay! So yes, most of the typo's are intentional. Most of them...Anyways, hope you like. I, obviously, don't own Condemned and what not. So yea, insert giant disclaimer here. The only thing I made was the OC Ryeland. Please read and review! Because reviews are always appreciated. ^^ Oh and I rated this M just to be safe. It is Condemned after all. [Massive editing has occurred throughout and shall continue. This fic just needed some more polish. Hope you like!]


Metro City…not much to say about it. It's a living hell that much is for sure. It brings out the worst in people, and I don't mean that lightly. If you were smart, you'd just stay clear of Metro. Things all went to hell when we moved there…

My brother, he, he used to be a good person. He was always bright and funny, always had something to say. Now, well, now…ugh…now he's wanted by every cop in the city…probably the whole frickin nation.

What'd he do? Ha, what didn't he do? After you saw the mayor's head of, your name kinda goes on the city's black list. My big bro's, he sure has got quite a rep. He's the renowned SKX. Fun, huh? Didn't always used to be that way though…used to just be Leland…Lee…big bro…Now he's…now he's crazy….

My name? Heh, like it matters anymore…Name's Ryland…bro used to call me Rye, back in the good ole days before we moved to this dump…I dunno what dad was thinking…Truth be told, I'm not sure he was thinking.

We moved to Metro a while ago. I'm not sure how long ago anymore. The days just drag out up here. I wanted to go live with Uncle V, but dad wouldn't hear of it. He said it would be fine. Lee and me weren't so sure, but we did what he asked. We loved mom and dad, really we did. Things didn't start gettin rough between us till we moved to Metro. Metro just, it just makes people lose it, ya know? It just brings out the worst in folks.

My dad, he was just so set in moving here. I kept askin him why, so did Lee, but he'd never give us an answer. "Metro," he kept saying, "we have to move to Metro. We have to." He sounded like a broken record. It creeped me out, did Lee too, though he'd never own up to it. And the weirdest part was is that he told us that we couldn't tell Uncle V, said he couldn't know. My dad wouldn't tell his own brother where he was going. What part of that makes sense?

Didn't make any sense to me then…Doesn't make any sense to me now. If we hadn't moved here then that…that…THING…wouldn't have found us, them….None of this woulda happened….

I must be crazy for doin this but…Somebody's gotta know right? Things keep going the way their going, I'm not gonna be 'round much longer. Somebody else 'as gotta know. Somebody else 'as gotta tell 'em that it wasn't Lee, wasn't his fault, it was that thing, whatever it is. My bro's innocent. I don't care what they tell you. He's innocent. That thing on the other hand…That thing's fair game. Let them open season on it, not my bro…Not on Lee…

None of this was Lee…It was all them, the Oro. It's all their fault, my family, this city, everything. I don't care if they do come after me.

It's time somebody else knew the truth.

Looks like I'm startin with you…
