Disclaimer: I don't own Silent Hill, but having all the games and eagerly awaiting the movie makes up for it!
Reluctantly, my eyelids ascended to give me a view of my surroundings. As I thought, I was stuck in a completely different environment. Gone were the gray blotched drabs that made up my prison cell. Instead, I was somewhere new. And I was in a world that was not of the norm. I was once more in that hellish 'Otherworld,' as I've decided to call it.
I stood up in the small square room that I occupied. The floor that I now stood upon was made up of red, rusty gratings thanks to this Otherworld. When I decided to peek through the gratings, all I got see was gaping darkness. Looking around the room, in front of me, I noticed a window in the shape of a cross (with, by the way, no light shining through) and the walls were all padded, and covered in red. Among the unnatural red colors, there was black ash occasionally streaked across. On top of all this was the fact that the air was considerably heavy, and starting to give me a headache.
I turned around a noticed that the metallic door (covered in rust, of course) was slightly ajar, and the slit in the middle of the door was broken off. Fearing to be surprised by whatever may potentially be wandering around outside, I settled my face against the door to glance through the peephole. Unfortunately, I had only glanced through in time to see a bloodless, purple arm close the door at the end of the hallway awaiting me.
Pushing the door open as it made an eerie creak that echoed through the hallway, I noticed a wooden chair beside my new cell that was tipped over and had a blotch of blood on the center, with the blood running down the chair and through the metal floor grating. As I cast my eyes upon the hallway, all I saw were the hall walls draped with red rust and black ashes and I door at the far end. Walking to the aforementioned door, I felt rain drops as water was leaking through the ceiling.
Arriving at the door, I hesitated. What would be on the other end? Another strange creature waiting to kill me? Another normal human being like myself? There was only one way to find out. But since the lights in the hallway were out, it would probably be safe to assume that more lights would be out in this building, making navigating difficult to do, and making any threats more severe. I rest my hand upon as doorknob as my mind bellowed at me, warning me to go no farther. I wanted so much to listen to my mind, but if I were to proceed and find my Lover, I would have to brace myself against my fears. I opened the door and crept into the next room.
I arrived into what looked like a reception room. There were rows of doors just like the one I came out of lined to my left, and across from my current location was what looked like a desk and probably a computer, though with no light source whatsoever, it was hard to tell. I walked upon the metal floor grating, my left hand reaching out to whatever I could feel while my right hand held the hedge clippers, ready to attack any hostiles with it. Hand in front, I searched through the air, trying to find a purchase. When I finally did, however, it turned out that my hand felt something firm. Lowering my hands, I felt something metallic and decided to purchase it. Bringing the item closer to my eyes, I found it to be a flashlight!
Backing up, I turned the switch of the flashlight on. And, upon looking ahead of me, I suddenly wished I hadn't. Because, in front of me, was another bizarre creature! It was a woman in a nurse's uniform. The nurse's cap was heavily ruffled and covered in dirt, as was the nurse's uniform which was open at the top to reveal cleavage. The uniform, covered in dirt and some blood, and with an open right breast pocket, covered a creature that barely looked human. The creature's long legs and arm were covered in ash and cut in several locations. But most disturbing of all was the face. The skin of the thing's forehead stretched tightly down her face and under her skin, revealing red stretch mark as her head convulsed wildly. It also looked as if there was a bulging growth of puss on her "face" but her head was shaking too severely to tell. She then raised her left arm to reveal a crowbar that she was harboring.
Instinctly, I began raising my right arm to smash the hedge clippers into her stomach when I felt a hard throbbing pain in the side of my head that caused me to stumble, followed by a bash to my forehead that almost made me pass out and gave me a headache from hell.
I slung my flashlight to my left to find another nurse demon apart from the one in front of me. I wanted to run, but my feet would not leave the ground so I did the only other thing I could do: fight. I ducked my head as a horizontal strike was swung at me front in front and retaliated by swinging the hedge clippers sky-ward, effectively slamming it into the nurse demons groin, followed by head, knocking it down. With that one out of the way, though not dead, my feet finally agreed to go into motion and I ran to the right before the other nurse demon could strike me.
With absolute fear overcoming my senses, I was forced to operate on instinct as I wildly ran ahead of me, not knowing where I was going. All I knew was to run, even though I couldn't see well as my flashlight flailed about in front of me, looking for a safe haven. My nerves were also tested in the form of my feet moving wildly on the grated floor, leaving a reverberating echo. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I came upon a rusted wooden door and looking back I found that, to my surprise, I had only ran a couple of feet. My heart was racing and my breathing tight, but I couldn't worry about over-exerting myself now. Dropping the hedge clippers to the ground, my now free hand reached for the doorknob and I turned it…only to find it locked.
"Nooooooo! Fucking open!" This couldn't be! How could this happen? I punched the door, slammed my shoulder into it, and jumped at it, but the god damned thing would not open! I could hear a female sobbing and as I did, I stopped. That desperate, tragic cry that I heard came from the nurse demons, but it was familiar otherwise. I didn't know why, but it sent a chill into my spine.
Hearing the lecherous scraping sound of the nurse's crowbar awakened me from my thoughts as I realized that they were only a couple feet away. Desperate, I hoisted up the hedge clippers and shifted all my body weight from my right side of my body to my left as I leapt into the wooden door and found the momentum enough for the hedge clippers to break open a messy hole in the door, shattering splinters around me. Having only one course of action available in my mind, I drug my body through the shattered hole.
I found myself face down in a courtyard, or what must've been a courtyard; there was a rotting tree surrounded by dirty, chipped benches but beyond that I could see no more than darkness. Upon turning on the flashlight, I was disappointed to see that it barely illuminated more than a couple of feet. I stood on my feet and surveyed my surroundings, with little to report. The ground was old cobblestone, there was still nothing but darkness and the only thing that stood out was that tree. Upon getting closer to it, I found that it was not only rotting; dried blood was splattered across to decrepit trunk and one of the tree branches had skin dangling off its end. The skin was of an agonized face, stretched almost beyond recognition. Feeling nauseated, I continued north.
My flashlight barely illuminating past me, I ended up fumbling across an old steel door, covered completely in rust, and slightly ajar. I decided to press my ear against the door instead of bursting through, for fear of running into the nurse creatures again. I heard a scream, then a voice…
"Quit pretending that you have feelings you sinful bitch. All your sex is good for is sin, you groveling whore." The stern voice was commanding and spiteful. I had to find out what was going on.
I ran through the door and immediately uplifted my flashlight right into the face of a man. He was tall, at least 6'2 and relatively thin. Through his round spectacles I could see dark brown eyes that seemed to radiate detest at the object of his attention. He had a plain white shirt with a black overcoat on and long black pants. He was holding a blood-stained shovel in his left hand. And at his feet lie a woman with an unbuttoned shirt, and with pants and underwear removed. The woman's face looked like a meld of skin, all crushed together. The man looked at me.
"…and what name has the spiteful lord rest upon your soul?" I could only stare incredulously at him before demanding to know why he just did what he did. He just laughed scornfully. "It was just a woman. Nothing more. Nothing more than a pointless sex toy. Completely devoid of a soul, they all are. You know that Eve tricked Adam into taking the apple in the Garden of Eden? Their pathetic sex was damned from that point on, all of them being deceitful and tools merely created for sin."
I knew asking about him seeing my loved one would be a bad idea. In fact, I didn't think it would be a good idea to even converse with this twisted man. I started to exit the door I came in from when he spoke up again. "This town is heavenly but is plagued by this disgusting sex. I even encountered a woman with light brown hair and light, scratched up legs but she escaped before I could shoot her."
My body froze and my mind seemed to cease rational thinking. It was HER. This man had seen HER. And he tried to hurt HER. I swung around and with full force slammed the hedge clippers into the man's stomach, causing him to propel backwards and sharply collide with a wall a few feet away from him. He slid to the floor and fell unconscious. I immediately regretted my senseless action because I could not ask him where she went, and I didn't have time to wait for him to wake up.
I proceeded through the room and stopped at the door on the other side. I turned in a circle, surveying the room I was in and found it to be some sort of reception room. There were stone pillars holding the ceiling up in four corners and on the desk to my right was paperwork, its contents faded away by time, and a computer that was still on. I ran over to the table and sat in an old, dusty wooden chair and looked through the computer.
I found some interesting things. There was a file about my father, Jerrod Link. He was sent to this institution when the cops found out he was a cannibal and they locked him away here. Me and my mother were left all alone. But then I found an even more interesting file. My file from when I was sent here a long time ago. I looked through the file and found what I suspected. It was about what I did after they took father away. They thought what I did was terrible. But it was their fault! My mother was so lonely and depressed and I loved her so much. I had to do what I could to make her not feel alone anymore. But then I was institutionalized for what I did to her. But I did it out of love! It was to help her! She cried when I did it though. But I only wanted to help her…
I jumped up from the chair and smashed the computer with the hedge clippers out of anger and sadness. This damn place! Trying to forget the past, I left the table and headed to the next room, to see what awaited me.
Hey there people! Sorry it's been sooooo long since the last update, lots and lots of stress at home. But now that things have calmed down, I've been able to write some more. That and having the masterpiece called the Silent Hill movie on DVD helped inspire me! I would've made this longer but thought you people had waited long enough! Oh, and sorry if the design looks kinda weird, I'm still having a little bit of trouble when I upload this.
