Prologue
SILENT HILL
Forever Darkness
By: Michael Wydock
I am on my knees in a darkened room with a single red light shining down upon me.A giant slow rotating fan blows behind me.The blades of the fan are rusty.I stand up with a gun in my hand.I have no idea how I ended up here.I’m lost.
“Where the hell am I?” I asked myself. I’m dressed in my favorite blue button down shirt, long sleeved and a black vest over it.My hair color matches the red light above my head.The floor beneath me is grated, made of iron and rust.I have my pocket flashlight turned on so as to see easier.I turn a corner and I see a rusty metal door.There’s writing on the wall in blood that says ‘Escape from reality’ with a blood drawn arrow pointing towards the door.Escape from whose reality though, what does it even mean?The message doesn’t make any sense.I enter the door with extreme caution.
Once through to the other side, I see only darkness and a row of street lamps as they all turned on one by one almost blinding me.I turn to go back but the door I came through isn’t there anymore.Just more street lamps as they’ve illuminated the darkness.The ground beneath me was now concrete, I was on the road.A shadow of a man was within my sight.In the distance, he just stood there.Even though he was under a light, I could not see him in detail.I looked down, and I could see the man’s shadow enlarging itself on the ground.
His shadow was creeping towards me as I backed away.I started to run the other way.I looked behind me but the man was just still standing there.I continued to run until the darkness started to fade.I then found myself in front of a park with red bricked roads and walls.There’s a sign that reads ‘Rosewater Park’.There was a trail of blood that stopped right at my feet.I follow the blood to see where it would lead me.I walk down concrete stairs and found a girl, a woman.She was looking over at the empty sea.The blood was coming from her.I also find another man standing behind her who was dressed like me.
He raised his gun to her head.I try to shout but I could not speak.He turns his head to me, and it was me looking at myself.Only, it wasn’t really me.He grins at me before he pulls the trigger.The booming sound of the gun is what woke me up.I’m lying on the bed shirtless with my hands behind my head.The most beautiful goth girl wakes up next to me wearing nothing but a bra and panties.Her silky purple hair matched her eyes perfectly.Her flawless body and that gorgeous smile, one can only be so lucky.She’s still wearing that gold engagement ring I gave her a few weeks back.Her name was Katie Garth.
“Morning baby.What’s the matter?”
“Just another freaky nightmare.”
“Was I in it?” She says playfully as she rests her hand on his bare chest.
“Unfortunately no, not this time.I woke up in a strange room.I found a door.I walked through that door and found a strange shadow man looking at me.I ran and ended up in a park.There was a trail of blood that I followed.It leads me to a woman looking out at sea.But she was covered in blood.I also saw another me.I held up the gun and I shot her.And that’s where the nightmare ended.”
“Pretty damn strange.”Katie then proceeds to get on top of him.She leans over to kiss him.His eyes closed as he got lost in the kiss.
“Let me give you a much happier ending.”She sits up as Katie proceeds to unhook her bra and tosses it aside.He could see her perfect round breasts as he smiles big.
“Oh Katie.I sometimes feel like I don’t deserve you.”
“Just shut up and kiss me.”She leans over for another kiss as she proceeds to undo his pants.Unfortunately, there was one man who was not as lucky as Michael Gunderson.Trenton Underwood still roamed the foggy streets of Silent Hill.Trenton had been trapped in that town roaming those streets for three days now.Michael wrapped his arms around Katie as their lips were intertwined both bare naked on the bed.His warm hands all over her bare back as he was giving it to her.A shadow of a new monster holding a butchers cleaver was hiding in the shadows watching Trenton roam the streets, stalking him.Katie’s back was arched as her breasts were bouncing up and down.Michael and Katie’s love is unmatched.
Trenton looked, but could not see the monster that lurked within the darkness.He put up his collar and kept on walking, forever doomed to roam those streets.Katie arched her back again as she screams and moans with such pleasure.Michael gets up and pulls her in for another deep kiss.Trenton stops in his tracks and sees his damaged car.His car door still opened but the engine does not work.He wonders if the town will ever let him go.Michael gets up from the bed and puts on his favorite shirt as Katie puts on her clothes.Michael looks over in her direction and smiles.
“You look so beautiful Katie.”She looks back at him.
“Well it’s because I am so in love.”
“No, it’s because I’m so in love with you.”
“So love has blinded you?”They both start to giggle as if they understand the reference.She was a woman of culture after all.Just one of the many reasons Michael fell in love with her.Michael looks over at her.
“So, what you wanna do today babe?Besides me of course.”Katie smirks.
“Well, I figure we could try that new coffee shop that just opened first of all.”
“Yeah, we could do that.I could go for a hot cup.”Michael and Katie got dressed and headed out.They were staying in an apartment complex, room 302 in a town called Ashfield.South Ashfield Heights was the name of the building.They had to take the subway because neither of them owned a car.Michael was saving up for one.It was a nice Spring day in Ashfield, no need for jackets.They both waited on the platform of the subway for the 9:00 to show up.They liked to start off their day early but not too early.The train showed up as they both got on board.
All of the seats were taken so they had to stand up holding onto the holsters.As the train was moving, Katie noticed a mysterious robed man staring at them from the other end of the car.Nobody else seemed to notice or even paid attention to the man.His face was covered up by a hood and a mask like he was going to a masquerade ball.Katie turned the other way but the man was still staring at them.
“Babe, what’s the matter?”Michael whispers to her.
“It’s that man over there.He’s just staring at us and it’s giving me the creeps.”He looks and sees the man that Katie was talking about.
“Whoa, I see him.Maybe he’s on his way to a masquerade, if they even still have those.”She let out a small giggle.The train had made it’s stop as the car doors opened.Michael and Katie got off.Katie looks back as the man was still in the train car, staring at them through the window as the train had closed its doors and started going again.She was feeling uneasy being around that robed man.Katie wrapped herself tight around Michael’s arm as he looks down at her and smiles.
A few more blocks and they’ve arrived at the coffee shop.‘Cup of Joe’ was the name of the shop.A bell rang over the door when it opened.About fifteen people were in the shop sitting around tables drinking their hot cups and standing in line for their orders.
“Looks like we’ve gotta stand in line.You go grab us a table babe, I’ll go get the coffee.”
“Okay.Get me a Caramel Latte.”
“One Caramel Latte coming right up.”She looked around and found an empty table with two bean bag chairs.She sat in one of the chairs as Michael stood in line.The bell rang as the door swung opened.It was the robed man with the mask.The man approached Katie’s table as she turned to face him.She jumped as a result of being startled.
“Its you!The man from the train!What do you want!?”He said nothing.He just pointed at her. The man then took his fingers as he moved them as if he was writing something.As he was doing so, Katie’s arm begins to bleed as a strange symbol was carved into her arm.
“What the fuck!?What are you doing to me!?”She tried to yank her arm back but she couldn’t move it.Michael turned and saw the man with Katie.He dropped the cups as he ran to her rescue.
“Hey!Get the fuck away from her!”The man turned to face him.Suddenly, Michael’s head was pounding with pain as his knees buckled down onto the floor.He placed both hands over his ears as he started to hear air raid sirens.Katie was now starting to hear them too.Their vision started to blur.Michael collapses onto the floor as Katie tries to escape.She got to the door but then collapses half way through as her vision blurs before going dark.
