The night is hot as hell. Lucky for me, its my vacation time, and I couldn't ask for a better time for it. I need a break after taking on all those cases these past three weeks.
"So Leo what are you gonna do during your time off"
I hear the voice of one of my friends. Young Asia Miller. She has been working as a lawyer as long as I have, and is always there to make me laugh during those rough hours.
"Leo! I'm talking to you" Asia said sharply.
"Oh sorry, I guess I zoned out for a minute. What did you say?"
"I asked you what are you planning on doing during your time off."
"I'm planning on getting out of this town. I don't know where I'm going yet though. I have some brochures at home to look at.
"Oh really!" Asia said surprised "You don't seem like the type to travel. You keep surprising me with new things about you. Well call me when you decide on where your going"
"Yeah I will. You take it easy."
"You too suga."
Asia walks off into the distance. That long blond hair of hers swaying in the wind. Well no point in staying here any longer. I need to decide where I'm going tonight. I make my way to my apartment without getting stuck in traffic today. Lucky me. Things seems to be going my way. I enter my apartment, as junky as ever. Well no time to try and clean things up. I set all the brochures on the coffee table this morning. One of thee places has got to be the place for me.
" Victory Land, Coral Beach, Kyra, none of these places have anything interesting."
I had just about given up on going anywhere, when I saw it. The place I knew I'd have a lot of fun at.
"Silent Hill"
The choice has been made. I got all the clean clothes I had a packed them up. I had two weeks off so I better make sure I pack enough of everything. A hour later I have five bags set aside by the door. As always, I over packed., but it's better to be over packed than under packed. I heated up two Hot Pockets and sat down at my computer to get better directions than the ones on the brochure. Once I found them, I printed them out, washed up and hit the sack. Tomorrow I leave to this Silent Hill place.
The next morning, its time to head on out. I got a quick wash up, a bowl of Pops and back the car. I'm all ready.
"Oh, I was suppose to call Asia and let her know where I'm going. Well at six in the morning, I doubt she's awake. I'll call her when I get there"
I can only image how she'll react when I call her later. I hoped in the car and hit the road. Four hours in. I didn't realize how four hours of straight driving can really effect someone. Talk about backache. About 5 minutes later I finally saw the sign. Welcome to Silent Hill.
"Ah finally. Well I don't see anything but fog, but I guess things will look up when I reach the hotel"
Driving a bit longer the fog seem to get thicker. I saw cars set on the side of the road with their panic lights on. I'm guess they stopped from the thick fog. Well the towns straight ahead. No point in stopping now. I just happen to catch a glimpse of one of the cars personalized plate.
" Miss Asia. That's Asia's car!" I said with surprise.
I'm guessing she got the same idea. I looked back to see if I could see her in the car. Oddly it was abandoned. Taking my eyes off the road for that split second, I turn back to realize I can't see a thing now, but the black road in the distance. The road seems to abruptly vanish as I quickly try to stop. Swerving I hit the side hitting my head on the window. Darkness slowly creped up.
"Oh what a nasty bump" Someone said
I finally come too and my head's feeling five times too big. Everything is spinning. When things finally slow down I look around the room, Mechanical bed, small TV, medical supplies.
"I'm in a hospital….How did I get here?
I sit up and get out of the bed, and then I got that cold feeling in my gut that something is wrong. Whatever it is, I'll face it.
