I walked over to the small closet in the room hoping to find my bags. No luck. If someone brought me here, they left my things. Guess I need to make my way back to the car. I headed towards the door and that cold thing hits me in the stomach again. Something's wrong here, but there's no way to find out what until you look. I barley touch the door handle and it falls off. If I needed a sign of upcoming trouble, this was it. I sat back on the bed to think.
"This is a hospital, what can happen? There's probably nurses and patients walking around outside like any normal hospital. . This is probably just a old room. I'm just getting worked up. Calm down Leo."
I pull my head together but I can't ignore what my gut is telling me. There's nothing in this room I can use as a weapon ,so if something's really wrong, then all I can do is run. Nothing wrong with that plan. I walk back over to the door and pressed my ear against it. Everything is dead quiet. The door suddenly begins to open. I managed to catch my balance before I fell. I walked outside the room into straight darkness. If this is suppose to be a normal hospital then this must be a special floor of some kind. Nothing like I've ever seen before, but then I'm not a hospital person. This could just be something new. The light from my room lit up the way alittle bit. I started to walk to my right and stubbed my toe on something.
"Ouch! Damn, what is this? Where are the lights?
As if someone heard what I said, the hallway began to lighten up. I could see my toe hit the wheel on a wheelchair. There was someone sitting in it, but there was a white sheet covering him. As the hallway got brighter to a normal level, the strong odor of decay slapped me in the face. Something here was dead. I'm guessing this person in the wheelchair. Well I'm no fool to look. This is a hospital after all. Someone will find out. Well I'm not going this way now, so I turned and head down the other way. I started hearing footsteps behind me. I turned and saw the person in the wheelchair had gotten up and started walking. Guess he wasn't dead.
"Excuse me, can you tell me exactly where I am? I mean I know I'm in a hospital but"
Before I could even finish my sentence, the person started running and rammed into me. Wham! I hit the floor headfirst. Everything began to get blurry. This sheeted person kneeled beside me and the odor of decay hit me again. It was coming from him. I looked over towards him and saw someone else standing over him, breathing heavily. The sheeted person reached into my pocket. Darkness once again took me. What a time to black out. When I came too I was on the road. I could tell seen everything was foggy. I felt a soft hand cress my face. I looked up to see a young women.
"Well good you've come to. Follow my hand"
I cooperated and followed her hand.
"Good well you seem to be fine. Here let me help you up"
"I can get up myself"
I got up and immediately felt the back of my head throbbing. I must have really hit my head hard, back in the hospital.
"Where am I"
"Your on the road near Silent Hill"
"But I was just in a hospital. Did you bring me back here?"
"No, I found you laying here outside of your vehicle. I stopped to make sure you were ok"
So that whole hospital thing was a dream? Couldn't be, my throbbing head is telling me different. Now the question is how did I get back out here by the car.
"You still seem to be confused. I'm not surprised. Your car is totaled so I'll give you a ride into the town"
I followed the women to her car. Not just a ordinary car. A police car.
"You're a cop?"
"Yes, its my first day on the job and I've already run into a lot of trouble, but your different. Its my job as a cop to help out a citizen."
She didn't seem like a cop. She certainly didn't fit the dress code to say the least. Well this is my chance to get into town, and with my car messed up from my crash, I could use a lift. I'll be back for my things. I hopped into the police car.
"What's your name sir?"
"Uh…Leo."
"Leo huh. Let me see your license Mr. Leo."
I reached into my pocket to look for my wallet. Gone. Now that I think back, that sheeted guy did dig in my pocket for something….if that was even real. If so, he must have toke my wallet. Great! Caught with a cop without a license.
" I don't have my wallet on me."
"Where is it, in your trunk?"
"No, I had it in my pocket in my wallet. My wallets gone though.
I tried to sound as convincing as possible, but by the look on her face, she wasn't buying it.
"I see. We'll check things out once we reach Silent Hill P.D."
Image. Me, a Lawyer, caught breaking the law. What a day this has turned out to be. We reached the town finally. Everything wasn't up to my expectations. All the shops were closed, streets were empty, not a sound could be heard, but the engine of the car. Its like the town was deserted.
"This is Silent Hill? Looks nothing like what was in the brochure."
"Ah, so you're a tourist?"
"Yes."
"A tourist driving without his license. You're the fifth person I've caught today like that. The town does look a bit deserted, but well straighten things out once we reach the P.D."
