Do you believe in messages? I never used to, but lately I've been getting, well, I guess you'd call them 'mind-messages'. Everything seems to be saying "go home, go back to Silent Hill," Silent Hill. My home town, or at least it was my home town, but I haven't been there for so long. I left … well, it isn't really anyone's business why I left, but I did. My mama, I mean Mother, still lives in that little town and my father and brother, well, I think they're in the graveyard there. My father is, anyway.

So what did I do? You guessed it. Headed right on home. Anyway, here I am sitting in the middle of a graveyard, having looked for my dad and brother, and not finding them, when this guy comes out of nowhere. Said he was lost and looking for someone. All I could tell him was, what I felt, that there was something 'wrong' with Silent Hill. He went on down the trail anyway. So I sat there awhile, wondering just where in Hell the two male members of the family were. I was so sure that was where they were. After a while I got up and headed into town, myself.

There was nothing but fog. Like someone Up There had fallen asleep and left the fog-machine running. Wonderful. All fog, no people. Not even that guy, James, that I saw in the graveyard. Anyway, I made my way to the Blue Creek Apartments, which is where my mother lives. Or so I thought. She wasn't there, my mama wasn't anywhere. I remember reaching into my pocket for a tissue and I only found a photograph. A photograph of my father, my mother and me. That's when all those feelings came back. Anger and despair, hate and worthlessness. There was a knife sitting on a small table, and I grabbed it. So there I was, lying beside a large mirror, with the photo beside me (ripped in half, I don't remember doing that), contemplating that knife, so shiny and sharp, when in walks James. Now what was it he said? "I don't know what you're planning. But there us always better way," or something like that. I asked him if he had found the person he was looking for. He hadn't, but he told me it was his wife and that she had died three years ago! So I did the human thing. Left the knife on the table and got the Hell out of there! That was creepy, I mean, you don't go looking for someone after they died, do you?

Imagine it, will you? I'm just looking for my mama, who I know is still alive, and the only other person around is looking for his dead wife. Anyway, I ended up in this … this room, with newspapers all over the walls and a TV on a small table. When I saw the door open, I thought it would be James again. I wish it had of been. Instead it was my father, and my insides turned to ice just like they used to when he would … well, I'm sure you don't want to hear that. I just screamed, screamed until I felt I was going to burst and all the time he's coming closer. When James walked in, I could have cried with relief. My father turned to look at him, and James shot him. After my father was dead, I smashed the TV over him. I'm not quite sure why I did that. After some short talk with James, I got the hell out of that room. I wonder if he will find his wife? I'm starting to believe that here in Silent Hill, anything is possible
