Both sides of the matter.
Jerry opened his eyes for about the hundreth time today.
He was in a warehouse.
Jerry looked down. He knew he was dead. But where was he now?
Heaven?
Hell?
"Actually, you are in Silent Hill."
The voice came from across the room. Jerry turned to face the speaker.
He was a small man. As he emerged from the shadows Jerry laughed.
It was Danny DeVito.
"What the hell? What... where am I?"
"Yeah, I chose this body on one of my creations. I love this one, he is
a funny man. You are in Silent Hill. And I am not Danny DeVito."
"What is going on here?"
"I am God."
Jerry couldn't believe his ears.
"God? But, how? I don't believe in God, or you, or.... What the hell is this?"
"You want Hell? Speak to me."
Those words came from across the room. Jerry turned to see who it was.
The man stood about seven feet tall. He had long hair that was white.
"As you may have guessed, I am the Devil. Satan, Lucifer, I have a lot of names.
I laughed at first then they stuck, so Lucifer it is."
Jerry shook his head.
"No, you guys are joking. I'm dead right? What are you doing in Silent Hill?"
"Well, I'll do this one. You see Jerry, in Hell I have disciples. Followers, if you will.
One of these is a charming fellow by the name of Sara.. Samua... I am so bad with names.
Anyway, he wanted to take over Hell and rule the Earth. This is where it gets good."
Lucifer stopped talking and pointed to God, who looked at him with an expression
of anger.
"Well, I created the thing you call life. And for many years it did very well.
But Horn-boy over there was jealous. Every so often he tries to take over existance.
So I use my power to bestow a great burdon on one man in society.
I give him or her the power of God. They have to defeat old Lucy over there and stop
him invading existance."
Lucifer cracked his knuckles. "Don't push me bro."
"Anyway, this time he really put his force behind it and managed to defeat my hero.
So there was enough of a opening to allow one of his demons onto Earth.
But this Sam guy, can't remember his name, had a plan. He killed the Demon who was
going to take over Earth and went to Earth. He assumed it would be easy. But he was
wrong."
Lucifer walked over and interupted.
"He had a following on Earth that was going to ressurect him. They succeded, at the
exact time he reached Earth. They were a cult based here in Silent Hill. So now he is trapped
here, claiming souls."
Jerry couldn't believe all this.
"So what are you two going to do about it?"
"Well," answered God, "I have been thinking about your planet for a long time. And then you
had that great war. It was then I decided to end existance. You people have forgotten what I
created you for. When I look at you, I am saddened. I made you all, and look what you
have become.
But then there will be no more humanity for me. You see, we need souls to live. Unfortunatly, there are a lot more souls in Hell than in Heaven. So....."
"So I can invade Earth any day now with my power, turning it into Hell on Earth."
"Let me guess. There is a problem" said Jerry. "That demon."
"Yeah, as long as he has a rule on Silent Hill we can't do anything about it."
"That is why we need you."
"Me?" asked Jerry.
"We need you to weaken the demon by unleasing his real body on Silent Hill. This can be
acheived by reading the ancient incantation found on the island off Silent Hill."
"Damn cultists all fled before finishing it. If you finish it, it will unleash his power on Earth.
Then we can destroy him. Unless......"
"Unless? What unless?" asked Jerry, very worried.
"Unless he has gained enough power to defeat us. And it is very possible. In that case
you will have to kill him."
"So let me get this straight. If I defeat this demon, God will destroy Earth. How will you
do your thing Satan?"
"Call me Lucifer please. Well, when you defeat him you will be possessed by his spirit."
"Have you ever heard of Limbo Jerry?"
Jerry shook his head.
"It is where souls go to be judged. What will happen is that we will open Limbo upon
the world. Then you need to decide who gets to kill him."
"Whichever one of us that kills him gets control of existance. God will clean the slate and
start again, and I will unleash my army on it. Either way you are dead."
"WHAT! WHAT THE HELL KIND OF GODS ARE YOU?"
"Excuse me, I am the only God here. And we...."
"I DON'T GIVE A SHIT!! YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST DESTROY US?"
"Well, I created you. I can destroy you."
"What if I refuse?"
"Then the demon will get stronger and stronger. Eventually, he will create his own afterlife."
Jerry sat down. He had to decide the fate of mankind. He closed his eyes.
God and Lucifer stared at him.
"He is strong. He harbours a great rage. That is why he is our hope."
Jerry stood up when he heard this.
"I refuse. I am going to stay here."
"Jerry, Jerry, Jerry. We can make you do it. I can make your worst nightmares true."
"I can bring back your wife. I can kill her over and over again."
"WHAT THE HELL! YOU ARE BOTH EVIL SONS OF BITCHES!"
"We are not evil. We want existance. If the demon gets it, there will be chaos."
Lucifer stared at Jerry, thenhad an idea.
"Jerry, watch this. I can make time speed up......."
Jerry was puzzled. He looked outside the window. They were over a huge city.
It was going in fast forward.
Buildings were built, destroyed. The city aged about fifty years.
"See what I can do. We are now in the year 2050. I can also slow down time. But I can't
change it sorry. Everything in my power has aged fifty years. That's everything bar
Silent Hill. Now do our bidding, or die."
Jerry walked up to him, and punched the 7 foot man over. Lucifer got back up.
"He he he. You are gaining power in our prescence. Go, use that power."
"Head for the island. You are in charge of mans future."
Jerry sat up in a sweat. He wasn't dead. He was in the office.
Next to him was a pump-action shotgun with a tag on it.
It read "To Jerry. Go kick some ass. God"
And next to it lay a single bullet. Jerry read the card by it.
"Lucifer. This bullet will kill the demon. Keep it safe."
Jerry loaded the gun with the shells on the desk and pumped it.
It was time to save the world.
Jerry opened his eyes for about the hundreth time today.
