Author's Note: No beginning notes. Just enjoy the chapter.

Time – 11:55 pm

I had just exited the Urban apartments and slowly, made my way to Alchemilla Hospital. While I was roaming the streets, I listened to Herman's Diary. It was titled, "The Brooks Case"...My last name...

"I'm finally in Silent Hill. My old man told me to investigate this unusual town. And yes, my old man is still hanging tightly to his job as a detective. When he told me to find out what was going on at the town, I wasn't sure what to say. I've heard a lot of strange happenings from this town. Why did he have to send me through? He could have went there himself.

On my way to the town, I stop by this diner that was on the outskirts of town. There, I ran into this man. He said his name was Harry Mason (He seemed vaguely familiar, for some reason). He told me that he dropped off a friend of his earlier at the town. Normally, I wouldn't care; But the name of his friend was what caught my attention.

The name of his friend was Nicholas Brooks (prefers Nick through). Nicholas Brooks was the name of a very important, key witness in this case my dad was assigned a few months ago. The thing about that case that stood out was that the police didn't have any solid evidence against the suspect. The suspect is named Lenny Skye, by the way.

Because of the lack of evidence, Both the prosecutor and the defense attorney were desperate. That's when Nick came in, But, there was a catch. The victims of the crime was his best friend and girlfriend...because of that Nick was highly traumatized by the...incident (for the lack of a better word). He was just a freshman in college when this all happened.

He (Static started coming in) couldn't (even more static) got away-"

That was all the diary said; it had ended with a intense wave of static. What was Herman gonna say? My memory on this were as foggily as the streets themselves. I remember that the name of the detective was Miles...Miles Marks. I remember he-

That's when I heard the bell tower going off in the distance. I checked my watch and saw that it was midnight. The bell tower continued to ring. Then came a new sound. The sound of many screams echoed around me.

Then, the fog of the streets started to lift away. My radio started emitting a faint static. My flashlight would probably be flickering on and off, but it was turned off. The fog of the streets was, slowly, being replaced by pure darkness. And soon, I felt that the temperature started to drop.

Stuff around me started to freeze over. The streets, the abandoned cars, the streetlights, and everything else you could find in Silent Hill. As soon as the darkness hit, I immediately turned on my flashlight. Soon, the temperature felt like as if I was gonna get frostbite. Eventually, my radio started to calm down.

Everything in sight was frozen. I looked at my map of the town and found that the hospital was nearby. The hospital was only about two blocks away. I should head to the hospital to see Lenny.

After walking about one block, I saw that a giant wall made of ice had blocked the way to the hospital. The giant wall of ice was just barely thin enough for me to look through it, but yet, it was still thick enough to block my path. On the other side of the wall, I could faintly make out a figure in the distance. My radio then started to emit static. Then, I heard a scream that sounded nearby. I didn't want to stick around to find out who or what uttered that scream.

Looking around, I saw that the only place I could go to was City Hall. I ran towards the entrance and saw that the doors were frozen too, But luck was on my side. The double doors to City hall were partially open. I just had to squeeze my way through the doors. The scream rang once again, this time, it was closer.

I had managed to get through the doors and found myself in City Hall. Once I was in the building, the scream echoed once again. This time, It came from within the building. I quickly ran through the lobby of the building.

In the distance, I saw a medium-sized figure coming towards me. I take out my shotgun and fired a shot at it. But, the shot had no visible effect on it. The figure came closer and I quickly turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

As I was running, a voice started emitting from my radio (along with the static). It was Viola. She said, "Nick...You can't fight them. Find the exit...". Find the exit? Was this like a maze now?

The figure had a humanoid figure. But, it was heavily distorted to the point where you could barely make out the features of the body. I heard more of the screams echoing through the halls. I had to find a way out of here before anything "unexpected" happened.

I don't know why but I had a feeling that if the monsters caught me, it would be the end. I just know I had to keep running. Soon, I came upon a room that resembled an office. In the room, I went behind the desk and hid under it, so they can't find me. I also turned off my flashlight.

As I was hiding, I heard footsteps rushing past the door. Soon, both the footsteps (and my radio) stopped...for the time being. I knew I had some "down-time". I might as well use this time to figure out where I was in City Hall. I should start with this very room.

I got up out of the desk and looked around (I turned my flashlight back on). The desk had nothing of interest for me. I continued looking around. The room also had a book shelve behind the desk and in the book shelve, it had a bunch of frozen books and one unfrozen book.

I took the unfrozen book and opened it. As soon as I opened the book, a piece of paper fell down onto the floor. I picked up the paper and saw that it was a map of the building*...how convenient. Out of curiosity, I opened the book again. Only to find nothing but blank pages.

I looked at the map to try to find out what room I was in. Eventually, I figured out I was in the conference room. The exit out of here (the building) was on the other side of the map. I guess I still have a lot of running to do.

I put the map away and turned off my flashlight. I also reloaded my shotgun. I was ready to head back out. I went through the door. As soon as I did, My radio started emitting static again. The screams echoed through the frozen halls once again.

I ran towards the general direction of where I remember the exit to be. Soon, one of the monsters caught up to me and jumped on me. Upon contact, I felt that the monster was even colder then the temperature in the overall world.

I felt my body heat slowly being drained from my body...

Author's Note: And that is Chapter 11. Hope you enjoyed it.

This part of the story is based off of the ice world from the actual game, Shattered Memories.

I know I had previously stated that I thought the game was lame. But, I've grown fond of it now.

Inventory time:

Weapons

.50 AE Desert Eagle (Pistol) - 7 / 17: Exchanged for the Beretta; Found in the police department. Better then the Beretta in terms of stopping power. But it has three less bullets and a slower firing rate. But it is still worth taking.

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.

Sawed-Off Shotgun - 2 / 28 (Bucks), 15 (Slugs): Given to me by Herman as he died; Exchanged for the pump-action shotgun. It has five less bullets then the Pump shotgun. But with this shotgun, I can shoot and reload faster. It is also stronger then the pump. Totally-worth taking.

Health Supplies

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

First-Aid Kit x01: A medical kit that comes with many healing supplies inside. Takes time to use it, but it is worth it...usually.

Important Items

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

Silent Hill Library Map: Found on a library chair. Like the town map, it's self-explanatory. Discarded because I won't be needing it anymore.
