Silent Hill: In The Wake Of Dreams

Chapter 2

Messenger


"No please!!!" Jim said

Someone came in.

It was a tall man with short dark hair, wearing jeans and a light blue jacket, with a baseball cap on his head that was off to one side. He was in his twenties.

"Who are you? Please don't hurt me. I will give you money anything just don't kill me." Jim said crying in fear.

"Hey wait a sec guy; I'm not here to hurt anyone. What are you doing all alone in this room anyway?" The man said

"I don't know, first I was in the other room with my mother and then I heard noises. After that the hospital changed and I hid here across from the other room. I heard scratches on the door but no one was anywhere. What is happening to me?"

"I don't quiet know myself Jim. Let me introduce myself, I am Thomas Richards." the man said.

"Good to meet you." Jim replied.

Thomas proceeded to talk about his situation...

"I'm in the same problem as you are in. You see I am looking to get out of this place myself, but the doors don't open anywhere to the outside. I think we're not in Kansas as the saying goes. I'm actually looking for my brother he is handicapped, got into a car accident. He has several broken bones and fractures. The weird thing is that when I came to see him he wasn't in the room. There was a note, it said….I hope to see you someday….get well….but what does that mean. Does not he suppose to get well? Then I turned around to go outside of the room and the whole building had been deserted. All of the people suddenly vanished."

"I had a similar letter like yours...so where exactly are we."

"That is the question that's been on my mind." Tom replied.

"So what do you think we should do now." Jim asked.

"I think we should get out of this room into the hallways and look around. By the way do you have a flash light on you?" Thomas asked.

"No, I don't have one." Jim replied.

"We need one; it can get quiet dark outside in the hallways. Where do you think one can be accessible?" Thomas asked.

"I think we can get one in the storage room of the hospital, on the first floor" Jim replied.

"Wait for me here, i'll be right back with the flashlight." Thomas said.

"You want to go there yourself alone are you crazy."

"Don't worry i have a knife with me." Jim replied.

"OK, as you say."

Outside Jim went into the never ending hallway. He couldn't see very well without the flashlight but, some small increments of light were feasible in the distance. He continued down the hallway through the shadows as noises flickered around him, strange noises that humans could not possibly make.

The hallways twisted around leading to one single door labeled, fire escape.

Jim went down the fire escape around the swirling staircase to the bottom into another door labeled 1st floor. He opened that door and went into the 1st floor part of the building. The air on the first floor of the hospital was damp and cold unlike his room on the 2nd floor. Noises kept getting stronger and now were growls, roars and screeches, but Jim was still at it, he was brave, or it seemed so.

In this hallway there were two doors. One door led to the storage room and the other to the bathroom. He first went to the storage room.

Walking to the door, he quickly opened it, and closed it behind him. Inside were boxes upon boxes of assorted things, one thing was on his mind, the flash light. He went forward to the center of the room and went to the supplies area. The flashlight was standing on the top shelf of one of the tables in the room. There were no batteries in them; luckily he had some with him. He put the batteries in the right way and it flashed light.

Jim exited the room.

He headed to the bathroom on the opposite side of the hallway to take a leak.

As he opened the door he heard a noise from the inside. Then something was forcefully banging on the door trying to break the door open. Jim panicked but then it stopped. He opened the door. No ones there.

"Must be my imagination." Jim said.

"He looked in the mirror and put some water on his face to cool himself, took a leak and left the bathroom. Outside in the hallway again something was different.

"In the Name Of...!" Jim said.

Something was walking towards him. It had no head and no arms, and it shook uncontrollably in spasms. It had a feminine women body look to it.

"Is that a walking corpse." Jim said.

The mannequin kept on walking towards Jim its body rotted and severed from sides and neck. The mannequin twitched and shook faster and faster producing shrills of noise screaming loudly at Jim. The walls of the hallway started to peel away as ashes burned into them. The mannequin proceeded to move closer to Jim, blood dripping from its breasts and severed limbs. It shifted from one side to another as it moved onto Jim; Jim cocked his gun high in the air and pointed to the mannequin's stomach. The bullet hit the mannequin as it fell dead on the ground still twitching and convulsing until no more.

"What the hell was that thing" Jim couldn't get the thought out of his head.

He started sweating

"I have to get back to Thomas Fast."
