Flashback Delusion

Adrian closed his eyes. He was tired, no, exhausted. He was both mentally and physically weakened. He turned around to face what he hoped to see a normal back door which would set him free from this prison. Much to his amazement, it was there, and it was already opened.

"I'm leaving and never coming back into this house"

Adrian walked through the door. The outside was very bright to the point where he couldn't see a thing but light, and it hurt his head. Suddenly though, as if it was nothing, Adrian blinked; and was back in his bed again. He didn't even bother to look at the clock anymore. Time felt as if it had stopped anyways. Adrian walked out of the room and downstairs, expecting a letter in his mail slot again, and sure enough, there was one.

"Find a letter in Hell.

…Why did you kill me Adrian?"

Adrian closed the letter and went back up to his room and placed it in his desk, fell on his bed, and closed his eyes. He wanted so much to just die. How could he be getting letters from her? She died 5 years ago in their hotel room at the Overlook.

It was during their vacation to Silent Hill for the summer. Adrian had woken Autumn up early in the morning and asked her to sneak up to the roof of the hotel with him through the fire-escape staircase which leaded all the way from the roof of the hotel to the very last floor, and watch the sunrise before they had to pack to leave for home. Upon entering the roof, the sun was just a little bit over the horizon and was emanating a beautiful orange glow on Autumn. Adrian thought to himself how angelic she looked with the sun glowing on her soft tanned skin, and the wind flowing gracefully through her long dark hair with its red highlighted tips slicing through the air.

"Look at the sun, it's just beautiful" Autumn sighed. "I can't believe we have to go back home so early."

"Autumn…"

"Yes Adrian?"

Adrian tried so hard to hold onto the golden ring studded with two flat diamonds in his pocket. His hands were shaking and his lips were trembling.

"Close your eyes."

"Okay, but don't try anything funny."

"Trust me princess."

"Open your eyes…"

Autumn opened up her eyes. In front of her face was Adrian's hands with a diamond ring in them, the sun had shone just perfectly on the gold of the ring and it looked almost like a halo.

"Will you…"

"YES! Oh my God, YES I WILL MARRY YOU ADRIAN"

Tears filled up in both their eyes and they gracefully hugged and kissed and cried together under the sun.

Adrian opened his eyes. That was the last moment of joy they shared together…

… She wasn't alive for much longer after that moment, Now back in his room, where the walls were painted a dull grey and there was only one picture hanging on the wall. A painting of the Overlook Hotel watching over Silent Hill Lake… Autumn had painted it herself during their vacation to Silent Hill.

Adrian glanced over at his clock. 12:00 PM. He then looked to the doorway. The door to his room was closed.
