Chapter 3

Matthew Williams

I awoke in a cold sweat. I was drenched. I wiped my face with a rag I took from the backseat of my 2006 grey colored ford Taurus, then had a deep breath.

"Wow. Must have been some nightmare. Well, at least its gone now."

I opened the car door and stepped out. My hand ran through the long hair reaching down my back.

"(sigh) I knew I should have gotten a haircut before I left."

Walking out to the railing that overlooked a sea of trees I gazed up at the nights foggy sky.

Matthew Williams, an African American male in his early twenties. He is the eldest of two siblings, himself, and his little sister Samantha. When they were very young, their parents died in a tragic auto accident and with no other relatives they had no choice but to live their years at an orphanage. Getting to that age, Matthew had planned to leave the orphanage and take custody of his younger sibling, but before they had the chance to do so Samantha was stricken with a deadly illness and died. Three years after her death Matthew received an envelope in his mail. There it contained a letter from his late sister stating that she is indeed alive and waiting for him in a town unfamiliar to him, called Silent Hill. To his convenience a map of the town including directions were also enclosed inside the envelope. So with that spark lighting the flames of hope inside him Matthew jumped in his car and started his journey to Silent Hill. On the road leading to town the car suffered sudden engine trouble and would not start again. With a groan and a yawn he decided to rest up for the long walk ahead of him.

"Huh! Hmm, could have sworn I heard someone tell my back story. I must have imagined it."

Getting off the rail I decided to try my luck with the car again. I turned the key and the car started.

"YES! That's what I'm talking about!" I said only to have the car die immediately after.

"NO! That's…(sigh) not what I'm talking about." The car would not start again.

"Ahh…damn it.."

I got out of the now completely dead car. Zipping up my blue jean jacket I looked out lazily at the road ahead.

"Well. Guess I should start walking."

Leaving the car behind I started down the thick fog covered road.

"My god. How long have I been walking."

I glanced at my wrist watch to see that it too ceased to function.

"First the car and now my watch…Great…" I was getting annoyed with all of this.

I continued down the side of the road, accompanied by aimless fog and the sound of my own footsteps.

During my walk I began to reminisce the sealed envelope that made me start this whole trip.

Flashback

I arrived home tired after working a night shift at the job. I groggily shuffled up to my door ignoring the suns morning shine telling me to wake up. I picked up the paper and mail while taking out my house keys. Entering my home I threw the paper and keys on the table and sat down to look through the mail.

"(sigh) Junk mail…Junk mail…Invitation to Ryan's birthday…Junk mail…Hmm?"

There was a big yellow sealed envelope.

"What's this?…There's no address on it.."

It didn't say who sent it. All it had was my name on it. After thinking about it I decided to open it.

It contained a letter. I unfolded it and started to read.

"Matt, I need your help…please…I'm scared…I try…but they won't let me go…I feel pain everywhere…not just mine…theirs as well…I'm waiting for you here…in Silent Hill…please come…Samantha"

"Wait! What is this?…Samantha…you died 3 years ago."

Looking back in the envelope I saw two more papers. One of the was a map of the town, the other one told how to get there.

I didn't know what to think. Getting a letter from your dead sister, and one like this, not so believable.

"This can't be true…can it?"

I sat in my chair trying to sum this up. My mind was shrouded with so many thoughts, so many feelings, so many emotions. Looking over I saw an old photo of Samantha and I when we were children. I miss her so much…we were separated in a most tragic way…but very few could slip through Deaths clinched fingers.

"Sister…if there's a chance you're alive…I'll take it!"

I grabbed my jacket and ran out the door locking it behind me. Inside the car I started the engine, shifted it to drive, and backed out of the driveway. Before taking off, I said a silent prayer.

"I'm coming Samantha!"

End of Flashback

"And that's how I ended up where I am now."

"Sam…if you're out there…(sigh)"

I reached the entrance to town.

The gates that allowed passage into town were big with exquisite designs, but also old and worn, like no human has touched it in some time.

A crooked sign on the left side of it read "Welcome to Silent Hill"

I opened the gates and entered town. Fog was everywhere, just like the road leading here. Visibility limited, slim to none.

"Samantha. Are you truly alive? Did you really die three years ago?" I asked as I stood there shrouded in the mist.
