Author's Note: I forgot to mention that whenever Nick finds something and adds it to his inventory, I will mark it with a *. It use to be underlined, but I changed my mind. I don't know what their called though...

Current Time – 5:00 pm

The giant chasm is so big, I can't see the other side of it. The bottom is also the same thing. This was literally livin' on the edge. Why is there a giant chasm in the middle of the town? They could have at least blocked it off somehow. Some yellow tape would have worked.

I guess I'm going to have to find another way to get to the apartments. So, I checked my map. Brown St. wasn't the only street that would lead to the apartments. I could go there though Redberry St. or Greenville St. I decided to go through Redberry St. So, I turned around and walked towards said street.

After walking for about five minutes, I hear someone calling my name. Except it wasn't very clear, but you could easily tell it was my name being called. My curiosity got the better of me, so I went to check it out. It was coming from within a store named "Goods N' Sales".

Goods N' Sales looked as if the place has been looted. The windows were smashed. The seemingly endless aisles were all empty. And there were also shopping carts shattered all over the market. The smell of decomposing flesh filled the air. I heard the voice again, this time coming from behind the counter.

I went behind the counter and saw that it was a radio. It was emitting static. Was this radio broken? Then, I heard movement coming from a corner of the market. A voice then came on, it was Wario, my best friend from high school. He said, "Nick...Nick, He's coming...Help!"

As if on que, A monster comes walking out. This monster was similar to the female figured monster that has glass shards piecing the skin. But with some differences. Like, it was on fire and through the flames, I could make out a vague masculine figure. As for it's arms, It was reaching out towards me as if begging for something, mercy perhaps?

I didn't want to get burned. I would like to keep my skin nice and smooth. So, I fired a few bullets. It groaned and fell to the ground. As soon as it did, The flames were put out. But, the radio was still emitting static and the body soon started squirming on the ground like as if it were a worm.

I went to the body and put it out of it's misery by stomping on it. As soon as the stomp was dealt, the monster let out one last moan and it died. And as soon as the monster died, The radio was silenced too. The radio was the same one that was in my nightmare. I could tell I was done here, so, I went back on my way to the apartments.

Timeskip: Ten minutes later...

I was on Redberry Street and once again, I'm at a deadlock. Why? Because there was yet another giant chasm. Except, this one was slightly smaller; I could barely make out the other side of the chasm. On the other side of the chasm, I could also makeout a one-armed silhouette, The fog that was covering the town didn't help either.

I went to my map and crossed out Redberry street for future reference. I guess I'm going to have to go through Greenville st. if I want to go to the apartments. The street wasn't very far away, but I'm fricking tried of running around the town only to find chasms blocking my way. It's so frustrating!

As I was walking to Greenville St., My radio would occasionally emit static. But the static would eventually go away after awhile. I also found two health drinks* and one box of ammo* just lying there on the street. Why were they there? Did the former citizens of Silent Hill just leave them there?

Eventually, I make it to Greenville St., but guess what's there to greet me. Another Chasm, yeah. This one was smaller then the others though. I could clearly see the other side despite the heavy fog. In front of the chasm were a few notes. The notes were about some crazy cult and this god that they worshiped. One of them caught my attention because this note had nothing to do with this cult the other notes mentioned, in fact it wasn't even a note at all.

It was just a piece of paper on the ground. On it was an arrow pointing to my left. I looked towards where it was pointing and found it was pointing towards the Silent Hill Library. The entrance to said library was opened a crack. I went towards the doors and found a white rose on the ground in front of the doors.

A white rose...why is there a white rose in front of the double doors? Did someone leave it here? Did someone dropped it? The rose itself was beautiful. The petals were real, but yet the inner petals looked like it was made out of glass.

I placed the rose in my pocket*as I stepped through the doors. The library was dark, so I turned on my flashlight. Next to the entrance doors were a bunch of chairs. One of them had a map and another had a memo. I took the map and started reading the memo.

It reads, "Lost keys, Can't find them. Where did I leave them? Mrs. Pendanski's gonna be mad."

After reading the memo, I examined the map. The library had a total of three floors (that's a lot of books). A (hopefully working) elevator. A backdoor (which I circled). And a stuff lounge.

As I was looking at the map, I heard the sound of several books falling over. I cocked and pointed my gun at the same direction of the sound. It couldn't have been a monster; my radio wasn't emitting static, was it an actual human being?

I called out, "Hello? Who's there?"

A very familiar voice answers, "Ms. Pendenski." Then, out of the darkness comes the last person I would expect. Lana.

Seeing me, she looked as surprised as me to find her here. I quickly hid my gun so I don't alert her.

Simultaneously, we both said, "What are you doing here?"

Then I said, "You first, I told you why I'm here back at the diner. (And also, Ms. Pendenski?)"

"Oh fine...Well, my parents owned this library and I...wanted to come back for...old memories." I noticed as she said this she would pause between several words.

Then, I said, "You liar. Your not here to take a walk down memory lane." She looked serious as I said this statement.

"How would you know I'm lying?"

"Well, for one thing, you paused before you said "Wanted to come back" and "Old memories". Are you hiding something from me, Lana?". I had a feeling I was going down the wrong road with this statement, but I want to know why she really cameto this town. Right when she was gonna say something, she was interrupted by the loud static of my radio.

Then she said, "Where's that static coming from?". I replied, "My radio." After I said those words, A figure comes out of the darkness towards us.

Author's Note: Yep, Lana returns. You'll find out the reason why she came to Silent Hill in the next chapter.

And all the new upcoming monsters, they won't be monsters for Nick this time. They're be Lana.

I didn't give a description of this monster because I'm saving it for the next chapter.

Inventory time and this time I've include Nick's Description of them next to the item names.

Weapons

Beretta (pistol): 6 / 34: Given to me by Harry Mason. Said he was given it by a friend. Must have been a Very good friend.

Steel Pipe: Found in the tunnel. A pipe like this is usually used in plumbing. But it makes for a nice melee weapon. About three and a half feet long.

Butterfly Knife: A rare knife that isn't sold in retail stores. I had to order it online. Can't stress enough about how sharp it is.

Health Supplies

Health Drink x03: A drink with limited healing properties. Comes in grape or strawberry flavors. Yum.

Important Items

Flashlight: In my chest pocket. Always handy whenever I have a blackout in my house. Can be turned on/off.

Radio: Found in Goods N' Sales. Emits static whenever there is a monster nearby. Can be turned on/off (though it's not very helpful when it's off).

Silent Hill Map: Found in Town. Pretty self-explanatory.

Silent Hill Library Map: Found on a library chair. Like the town map, it's self-explanatory.

Savior's Note: Found in my pocket. A note from the one that saved me from the tunnel. It's the same note about the valves from the same tunnel.

White Rose: Found at the entrance to the library. Beautifully crafted. But, who does it belong to?

Well, See ya next week for the next chapter.
