Chapter 3
Jerry sat up. His head was clear. He looked around and saw he was in a hospital.
He was lying on a bed. There were voices coming from out of the hallway.
Jerry sat up and looked at his body. His cutys were gone. His clothes weren't
ripped, and he didn't feel out of breath.
This must be a dream he thought.
Or death.
He walked out into the hallway. He was greeted with the sight of many families,
resting in the halls. There were children, men and woman with wounds of sorts.
Doctors and nurses ran around trying to care to them. Jerry was about to ask someone
when he felt a large hand on his shoulder.
"See you are up. Pretty lucky we found you."
It came from a large man, wearing army clothes. He had a gun strapped to his back.
"We found you in an allyway when we were looking for any survivors. How did
you get there?"
"Uh, I gotta go find Samantha. How do I get out?"
"Out! You can't go out! We are having a crisis of biblical, um, what's that word?"
"Where am I?"
"Proportions? Oh, this is the Silent Hill hospital. We are rounding up any
people in the town and bringing them here. We still have no idea what is
happening yet. But you can't go out. Wait until our next survivor run.
You can tag along. Well, I gotta go now. Just try to mingle, and I will call
you in two hours."
He walked away, leaving Jerry more puzzled. He looked at his watch.
It said twenty past three in the afternoon. Jerry gasped.
He ran to his room and looked out of the window.
Outside it was pitch black.
Jerry sat on his bed for twenty minutes, running over all of todays
events in his mind. He went into the hallway to check the time with
somebody in the hall but they had the same time that he did. He searched for
Samantha for an hour but she wasn't there. He collapsed in a wheelchair and
began to cry. He felt the world spin away from him.
The wheelchair felt uncomfortable. He reached back and found it had no brace on
the back. He opened his eyes. He was in the hospital but there was not a sound
coming from the halls. The lights were flickering. Jerry stood up and felt very scared.
He ran down the hall to the main corridor, where most of the people had been.
It was a bloodbath. The walls, the floor. There were various body parts lying on the
hospitals once clean and polished floor. At the end of the hall was a hunched over
figure. It was wearing a nurses uniform. Jerry suddenly didn't notice the body parts.
He only saw the nurse figure. He walked towards it. He stepped over the limbs
as if they were childrens toys. As he reached the figure it looked at him.
It was a nurse. With a large head coming out of its back. It turned to him and he
could see that half of its face was missing. It was melted into a black, charred lump.
It swung out at Jerry. He stepped back. Any other day, this event would have him
pulling out his own hair and drooling insanely. But he felt no fear. Instead he leant back
and picked up a womans purse. He reached inside and pulled out a handgun.
He calmly raised it to the nurses head and shot the figure. It reeled back, hurt.
Jerry shot it again. And again. When his mind calmed down he was clicking away at an
empty gun. The world began to spin again. As he fell he saw a large figure walking towards
him.
"Yo! Wake up!"
"Do you think he's one of them?"
Jerry opened his eyes. He was in the back of a van. Three people were leaning over him.
He recognised the large man in the army clothes, only now the clothes were ripped and bloody.
"You alright man? How did you get out when it happened?"
"What? When what happened?" said Jerry.
"When the... things attacked the hospital."
"Uh, I remember passing out."
"You must have been looked over. Well, I may as well tell you what I saw."
"We had just returned from searching for any survivors and were unloading our supplies we
got when we heard the screams. We ran upstairs and...... saw them."
"There were three of them. They were killing all the men. The woman were being led down a
hallway into the doctors lounge. The kids were spared. We fought them off and went to save the
woman, but when we got there, we saw, well, it was horrible."
"It was a giant worm. It had smashed its way through the hospital wall and had its large mouth open.
The creatures were herding the woman, who were naked and covered in gashes, into the monsters
mouth. We tried to fight them off but the woman turned against us. We were lucky to escape.
You are lucky we found you. Well, we are all going to the police station. They have the whole place
boarded up. Nothing can get in."
As he finished they rolled past a warehouse. All the windows were boarded up.
The front door was covered in blood and the footpath was littered with dead bodies.
Jerry could see about ten of the small creatures tearing the bodies apart.
Jerry felt very frightened.
