The year is 198X
I look at my reflection in the mirror. I see myself. Sometimes, I feel disembodied, like I'm a lost spirit swimming in a sea of the unknown. I'm getting distracted. My name is Chara, but even though the words roll off my tongue, I can't bring myself to believe that. My name is Chara Dreemurr, the first human, the murderer of thousands. But I've changed. I walk out of the restroom, my face being pounded by the coolness of the air.
"In my restless dreams, I see that town.
Silent Hill.
You promised you'd take me there again someday,
But you never did.
Well I'm alone there now.
In our 'special place'.
Waiting for you..."
I got a letter. The name on the envelope said 'Frisk.' My husband's name. It's ridiculous, couldn't possibly be true. That's what I keep telling myself. A dead person can't write a letter. Frisk died of that damn disease three years ago. So then why am I looking for him? Our 'special place.' What could he mean? This whole town was our special place. Does he mean the park on the lake? We spent the whole day there. Just the two of us, staring at the water. Could Frisk really be there? Is he really alive...waiting for me?
I grabbed the map of Silent Hill in the glove box of my car. I made my way to the forest path leading into the town. My shoes hit against the dirt path as I walked through the sharp-turning way. The thick fog made it so that I couldn't see 5 feet in front of me. The sound of some sort of machinary made me walk slower, making me savor the ominous ambience in the air.. The dirt path winded down through the hills, the edges steep. I ended up at the graveyard near the town. What a way to start my journey.
Near one of the graves, I saw someone. A monster. She was wearing a lab coat. She looked like a lizard if you got closer to her. I spoke.
"Excuse me, I.." I started, but the girl jumps back in surprise.
"I, I'm sorry...I, I...I was just..."
"No, it's okay. I didn't mean to scare you. I'm kind of lost."
"Lost?"
"Yeah, I'm looking for Silent Hill. Is this the right way?" I point to my left.
"Um yeah...It's hard to see with this fog, but there's only the one road. You can't miss it."
"Thanks." I said, smiling.
"But..." I stopped and turned around.
"Yes?"
"I think you'd better stay away. This uh...this town...there's something...'wrong' with it. It's kind of hard to explain, but..."
"Is it dangerous?"
She paused.
"Maybe...and it's not just the fog either...it's..."
"Okay I got it. I'll be careful." I reassured her.
"I'm not lying."
"No, I believe you. It's just...I guess I really don't care if it's dangerous or not. I'm going to town either way."
"But why?"
"I'm looking for...someone."
"Who is it?"
"Someone... very important to me. I'd do anything if I could be with him again."
"Me too. I'm looking for my friend... It's been so long since I've seen her. I thought my other friends were here, but I can't find them either...I'm sorry...it's not your problem."
"No, I...I hope you find them."
"Yeah, you too."
I walked toward the fog covered streets. Nobody was around. Seems logical, due to the dense fog. The building looked uninhabited though, but maybe it was just a residual from the eerie walk. Although, I felt as though I was being watched. Nothing interesting came my way until I saw a shocking sight.
"Are these marks...blood?" I thought out loud.
It looked as if a dead corpse was dragged across the abandoned street. I looked around me, and I saw something moving. I only stared at it for a few brief seconds before it disappeared behind the thick fog.
'That shadow just now...'
I followed where the figure went. More streaks of blood appeared as I followed the thing into an alleyway. I ended up in some type of old, brick edifice which looks to be undergoing construction. I saw a small radio making strange, static-esque noises. I picked it up and examined it. It never stopped making that noise. I entered the structure and examined the radio. Then I heard the noise. I turned my head to the side and saw it.
An armless, humanoid monster.
The creature made weird sputtering noises, twitching without warning. No arms, just legs. I was visibly afraid at the time. It acknowledged my presence by limping towards me. I was desperate, so I grabbed a loose wooden board to whack the armless creature. I slammed the board at its body and it retaliated by opening the slit on its body and splattering the wall with some sort of acidic liquid. I jumped out of the way before the burning liquid got to my skin. The walls became rusted due liquid. I quickly counter-atracked by swinging the plank at its legs, and it fell to the floor. The creature couldn't stand up, but it started to crawl away. I was reluctant to get the monster's filth all over my shoe I kicked it while it was down and with each kick, the static from the radio died down.
One more stomp to its repulsive flesh and it gave out a horrid screech.
Finally, it heaved its last breath until it died. I panted for breath, barely comprehending what just happened before my very eyes. The world was plunged back to silence again.
'Is it dead? What the hell is it? It's not human...' I thought, touching the abominations with my plank.
I took out the radio from my pants pocket. It started screeching again.
"Oh yeah. This thing broken?"
I stopped talking as I heard words. My hand pressed the radio to my ear.
"Ch...I'm...e. Come to...s...ting f...id you k...Cha..."
"What the...? I'd better take it anyway. I might need it."
Silent Hill 2 is not made by me, but Team Silent and Konami. Undertale is made by Toby Fox.
