September 27

Thursday again, no games for this week that I have any interest in. And well you know, since all that shit that's been going on, why bother with gaming? Hell I haven't even played Epic Warfare 2, there goes my money, boy I sure make bad purchases. Anyhoo, today Mark invited me over to his house, with intentions on blazing it up with his friend. So much for staying clean this year, o well, I could definably use something to take the edge off.

The lunch bell rang, this time, I decided not to go to lunch, especially after every time I go to lunch, I get sent to the hell version of my school. So I instead went to the library and kept myself occupied by reading the various magazines they had lying around. Nothing great, just some boring news magazines, nothing about gaming. But hey, it kept me updated on current events that were going on in the world.

Phew, I survived lunch without being transported into an alternate reality. Wow, I just realized how stupid that sounded to, I bet you're reading this and thinking, "Whoa, this guy has some serious problems". Well you know what? I don't give a shit and you probably are disregarding this as a work of fiction. O well. I headed to class, when I got in, I noticed a new student, sitting in my desk. Now this is one of my major pet peeves. I just can't fuckin stand it when some jackass comes in and takes my desk. Doesn't matter where the desk is, in the front of the room, or in the very back left corner, it's my desk.

I walk over there and while I'm walking the whole time I'm thinking "ooh, I'm gonna tottaly piss the girl off for this, I'm gonna give her hell". But as I got closer to her, I noticed something, she was pretty damn cute. She had short, straight black hair, she was Asian and she also had a piercing on her left eyebrow. Pretty much the more noticeable features on her. She was also wearing a plain, black tee, with some blue jeans. So anyways, I aborted that plan, and instead of yelling at her, I took the seat to the right of her, which belonged to some kid, I forgot his name, actually, I never cared for his name, he's annoying and he if tries anything, I'll hit him in the face.

My lazy teacher didn't feel like he was up to teacher today, so he gave us a "study period". Which basically means "leave me the hell alone, I got drunk last night, do whatever you feel like." So what better time than to get to know the new girl, maybe even score a number in the process. So I looked over at the girl, and she looked back at me, so I smiled and she smiled back. So far so good. I really don't know why I waited till the very end of class to talk to her. I should have tried to put a move on her earlier.

"Hi" I simply said to her, "Are you new here, I havn't seen you around here before?"

"Yeah, I just moved to this town, I'm Miya, and you are?" she said, and so far I was doing pretty good, she didn't get up in disgust and move across the room. Score! Now my eyes started to stray downward from her face, I was pretty much zoned out. "Hello? Anybody home?"

"Ohh, sorry, your name sounded familiar" I said, and what a save at that! "I'm Max. So where did you move from?" I asked.

"Oh, we moved from Silent Hill after my dad got offered a job here." She responded.

Silent Hill...Ahh, I've been there once, it's about an hour's drive from here, actually I had to drive through that town to get to this concert I was headed to, I remember it more vividly now, it was pretty creepy, there weren't that many people out and about in the town. I was getting this weird vibe from the place, you've probably gotten the feeling at least once in your life?

"That's cool, I've been there once, anyhoo, the bell is about to ring, wanna finish this conversation some other time?" I asked her. O yeah, I went there, I dared ask for her number, didn't think I had it in me now did you?

"Sure! That'd be cool, I don't really know anyone around here, hold on a sec, I'll write down my cell for you" she said. Wow, this girl has a cell, mostly business people have one of those, well that shows either she's a spoiled whore, or has some class. Either way, I was getting her number right now, so it didn't matter. She wrote it down on a slip, as she finished writing it down, the bell rang, almost at the same exact time she lifted her pen. She handed me the slip, then waved to me and left, well I immediately opened it, to make sure it didn't say "you're a loser, get the hell away from me" or something. And victory was mine, I had got her number, it was 193-1100, which struck me as odd, because that number was the same as my locker combination. 19-31-10. O well, probably was just a strange coincidence.

Today was the first day this week that nothing extremely out of the ordinary didn't happen. O well, wonderful, this can only mean something horrible will happen tomorrow.

September 28

Ahh, Friday came, this felt like the fastest week ever for some reason, it didn't even feel like any of the events on the previous days happened.

Hell came after me early today, not at lunch, not even the period before lunch, but right as I walked in the school, everyone disappeared. I knew where I was now, in hell. I sighed, tried to walk back outside the school, and surprise, surprise the door I came into was locked.

I decided to head to my locker, don't ask me why, I just felt the need to get that axe, maybe I can bust down a door or something. I headed down the west hall of the school, and noticed the silhouette of a girl down the hall from me. It was probably Ally to tell me something completely worthless and screw with my mind. It really pissed me off how she kept appearing almost randomly, and disappearing like so.

I was wrong.

It wasn't Ally, it was Miya, and the only other person I had seen in this weird version of my school. Well besides Ally of course. Well, it was a relief nonetheless, at least it wasn't some giant demon thing.

"Hey! Who's there?" she shouted as she walked near me. "Max? Is that you?" then she started running towards me, as she got closer I noticed that she was pretty damn scared. You know, you can just tell when there's fear in someone's eyes. "Oh thank God, holy shit, where is everyone? I went into the restroom for a few minutes, then came out, and everyone was gone."

"I have no fucking clue what's going on here, Miya" I replied to her. "I do know one thing though, it happens randomly, this is probably like the fourth time I've been to this alter-dimension world. Be thankful though, that we didn't get sent to that other place."

"What other place?" she asked.

"I've only got sent there once, it appears to be a even worse version of this empty, creepy school. Everything is rusted, and the roof is gone, it's just some metal grating. The walls are bleeding, and there are monsters!" I said, now realizing how stupid I sounded "but you probably don't believe me.

"After some stuff I've seen today, I believe you." Miya said.

"Ok, well lets go explore the rest of the school, all the other doors appear to be locked so let's stick together, alright?" I asked her.

Miya agreed, and she followed me around, I went by my locker and picked up the axe. I felt slightly more confident in myself with a weapon in one hand. I turned around and noticed that Miya was a few feet behind me looking at a crack in the wall.

"Come here" she said, "I can see something inside this crack, and it feels pretty hollow, why don't you put that axe to good use?"

So I walked over there and peered in the crack, there was somthing indeed there. I couldn't tell for sure but I lifted my ax over my head, and started wacking at the crack. It took about 30 strong; good swings at the wall to get it to finally crumble. I also broke my axe in the process too, so that became useless. The hole I made was just barely big enough for me to fit through, so we both went in, one at a time. It was pitch black and I don't carry a lighter anymore. But before I could get a good sense of panic, Miya lit her lighter that she had.

The room illuminated more clearly now, and I noticed that there was a door. That showed the same logo that had appeared on that sewer grating in the courtyard a few days ago. Well I opened it up, and as I opened it, I felt that Miya had grabbed my hand, at first that scared me, but, might as well enjoy the moment.

We walked inside the door, the next room was also pitch black, I shut the door behind me, and as soon as I did that, the room became illuminated again.

....

It was the same room again! What the hell?! Well, not entirely the same, there was one minor difference, the hole I made was gone, and there was a small crack instead in the wall. Well, there was no other option, so we went back through the door behind us. This time the room had changed. A staircase had appeared, out of nowhere, we looked down into the staircase, and could only see blackness. So we turned around to head back out the door, but noticed that the door was gone, in fact, the only other way we could go was down the stairs.

We descended down the staircase for about 30 minutes it seemed, I'm sure I'm exaggerating the time it took for us to go down the stairs, it was probably closer to 3 minutes than 30. The fact remains, that it was one hell of a staircase.

Now when we reached the bottom, there was yet, another door, now I expected that the I'd go back to another strange room that I had just walked in. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Yes, you read that right, 'unfortunately'. We walked in to what appeared to be a girl's room, typical bed, dresser, lamp, you know, stuff you'd find in any other room. Nothing too odd, ooh wait, did I mention the candles that were laying in a circle on the floor? And the corpse in the middle of the room? So yeah, I guess you can say it was pretty damn-fucking out of the ordinary.

Now this body was laying there, you know in a supine position (ho! Who would have thought that some of that useless science vocabulary would come into use). Anyhoo, there were holes all over his body and his blood was completely drained from his body. Then I looked at his face, the corpse in front of me, appeared to be me. I blinked a few times, to make sure it wasn't, and strangely, it changed, it had no face.

Next to the body there was a silver key, not one of those modern keys for cars, it looked like a key you see in fantasy movies to open jail cells or something. I didn't know what the key was for, but hell, might as well take it, never know when it could come in handy.

"Hey! Get the hell out of here!" said a familiar female voice from behind. It only took me about 2 seconds to find out who's voice that was. It was Ally. "Ohh...it's you again, you mind getting out of my room?"

"This is your room!?" asked Miya, with disbelief in her voice. "Did you do this to this poor man?"

"How about you mind your own business and leave?" she said, her town of voice went from angry, to really pissed off. That's when I noticed something shiny in Ally's hand, and I think Miya noticed it too, it was a small knife.

Well, this frightened us a little more, so we decided not to take any chances and just leave through the door behind us. I opened the door, and again it happened, my vision became blurry, and I blacked out for a second, then I opened my eyes, I was standing in my school again, this time it was just about time for school to start, and kids were running around the hallways to get to class on time.

The bell rang.
