No joke or romance, don't ignore the letter (Blood)

You recently received a letter from your best friend, who died a bit ago. He tells you that he "can't wait to see you again" and to "come to the town of Silent Hill to meet up."

Middo:*in mind* i thought he died.....guess i'll go

You travel your way to the town, and you are eventually met by a green sign that says "Welcome to Silent Hill"

Mido:*in mind* welp

You look around, but you don't see anyone. The town is deserted

Middo:H-Hello?

You see someone walk out of a building

Middo:?

The man is wearing a black unzipped jacket and blue jeans. He has messy black hair and he's holding a wrinkled paper. He takes notice of you

"Hm? Oh, hey!"

Middo:h-hi?

"My name is Noah. What's yours?"

Middo:M-Middo

"I like it.. So what brings you to Silent Hill?"

Middo:I-I got a note

"From who?"

Middo:m-my best friend

"Me too!'

Middo:creepy thing is....i thought he died

".. Oh wow.. M-me too..!"

Middo:o-oh....

"What was your friend's name?"

Your friend's name is Ben

Middo:....Ben

"Oh. My friend's name is James."

Middo:o-oh

"James Sunderland."

Middo:B-Ben....Ben Alan

"Hey.. If you help me, I can help you.."

Middo:o-ok

"If you help me find James's I can help you find Ben.."

Middo:*nods*

"Thank you.."

Middo:no problem

"James usually hung around by the railing overlooking a forest."

Middo:...

"Maybe we should check there.. Maybe Ben could be there too."

Middo:o-ok

You and Noah head to the railing (the place in the cover image) and don't find James or Ben, but you do see someone standing by the railing, it's not Ben. He turns around and looks at you blankly

Middo:....?

???: "... Hey."

Middo:h-h-hi?

???: "Who are you?"

Middo:.....

The man looks blankly

???: ".. Nice name.. My name is Henry.."

You didn't even say your name, and he compliments it. He doesn't sound sarcastic

Middo:how did you *scared*

???: ".. How did I what?"

Middo:kn-now m-my n-n-name

???: "... I don't."

Middo:n-n-n-names M-Middo

Henry: "Ah. I stand by my statement."

Middo:...

Henry: "What are you doing in Silent Hill?"

Middo:i-i got a n-note from my friend

Henry: ".. Same thing happened to a man a knew a long time ago.."

Middo:odd thing is i though he died......

Henry: "... Was their name... Mary..?"

Middo:no

Henry: "What was their name..?"

Middo:Ben

Henry: ".. Ben..?"

Middo:....

Henry: ".. I heard of him.."

Middo:...?

Henry: "Is he your friend?"

Middo:ya

Henry: "I saw him recently.."

Middo:...w-wha

Henry: "He walked past here with a blonde guy in a brown jacket."

Noah: "That sounds like James!"

Middo:w-when?

Henry: "Just over five minutes ago."

Middo:B-Ben is dead though.....

Henry suddenly gets dark

Henry: "This town is strange. He may be alive, he may be dead. You may uncover secrets that were never meant to be uncovered."

Middo:......

Noah steps in between you and Henry, making an attempt to protect you

Henry: "... I wish you good luck on your travels."

Middo:.....

Henry turns around and leans against the railing

Middo:..?

Noah: "Let's get outta here.."

Middo:y-ya...*slightly creeped out*

You and Noah walk away, arriving at an abandoned school

Middo:....

Noah walks up to the wall

"This place has been abandoned for years, by the looks of it.."

Middo:y-ya.....

".. Should we check inside?"

Middo:y-ya

You and Noah head inside. You walk around and find nothing but dirty classrooms and empty lockers. You're about to leave, when you suddenly hear metal scraping against the ground in the school

Middo:?!

Noah looks around

"... You hear that..?"

Middo:*nods shaking*

You look down the hallway and see a very tall man. He does have a shirt on, but he has a long, blood-stained robe around his waist. He drags behind him a massive knife, which making the metal sound. His most defining feature is the large, metal pyramid helmet on his head. It's what makes him so tall

Middo:*scared*

Noah quickly grabs you by the arm and runs with you to the third floor, hiding in a classroom

Middo:*thinking out loud quietly* wish i'd brought my katana

Noah hears you but doesn't say anything. He pants heavily

Middo:....

"... What the hell... Was that..?"

Middo:i-i-i d-d-dont k-know

You hear scraping outside, then it stops

Middo:*puts finger over mouth and grabs a chair*

Noah watches

Middo:....

"... What were you doing with that?"

middo:imma block the doors

"Good idea.."

Middo:*proceeds to block the door with chairs and desks*

Noah looks around

".. How do we get out of here..?"

Middo:no clue....

Noah spots a window

"There!"

Middo:we're on the 3rd floor.....you sure?

Noah looks out the window

"There's a ladder.."

Middo:lets get out of here

Noah goes down the ladder

"Okay.. Now you.."

Middo:*goes down*

While you're climbing down, the ladder snaps. You fall, but Noah goes under you to try and catch you. You both tumble to the ground, but your fall was broken

Middo:you ok

"Yeah.. I'm fine.."

Middo:we shoud leave this area of town....

".. Yeah.. I'm not giving up on James, though.."

Middo:ok

You and Noah wander the town more. You eventually stumble apon a lake

Middo:...?

"Toluca Lake.."

Middo:...o-oh

"... He might be here.."

Middo:y-ya

"Should we split up, or stick together?'

Middo:stay together

"Good idea.."

Middo:....

You and Noah walk around the lake

Middo:....

Noah looks in the lake, at his reflection

Middo:?

"If it wasn't so foggy, this lake would look cool..'

Middo:....

"... You doin alright?'

Middo:y-ya

"... Hey what's that?'

Noah points at something near you two

Middo:!

You see someone else standing by the lake

Middo:*to Noah* who is it...?

".. I don't know.."

Middo:....h-hello?

The person looks at you

"...Hey."

Middo:..!

".. What's your name?"

Middo:M-M-Middo....

"I like it.. My name is Liam."

Middo:N-Nice t-to m-meet y-you

"Pleasure."

Middo:*looks back*

Liam smiles

Middo:?

Noah: "Have you seen a.. Uh.. (To you) What does Ben look like?"

Middo:*to him*6'3 male,dirty blonde hair,fair skin,green eyes

Noah: "(To Liam) Have you seen a man around 6'3" with dirty blonde hair, fair skin and green eyes, with another blonde guy with a brown jacket, white shirt, blue jeans?"

Liam: ".. I think.."

Middo:*slight smile*

Liam: "Yeah.. They went near Pete's Bowl-A-Rama."

Noah: "Okay.."

Middo:*is confused*

Noah: (To you) "I know where that is.. Follow me.. (To Liam) Thank you, sir.."

Noah leads you to an abandoned bowling alley with a big sign that says "Pete's Bowl-A-Rama"

Middo:*to him* i-i f-feel l-like w-we'er b-being f-followed

"..I doubt it."

You and Noah walk into the bowling alley when you see someone sitting at one of the Lakes, eating a pizza

Middo:.....

Noah notices him and jogs over

"Hey!"

Middo:*follows cautiously*

You follow Noah and see the man. The man is wearing a blue and white striped polo shirt with blue khaki shorts. He has a baseball cap on turned backwards. The man is also overweight. He doesn't notice you yet

Middo:....

Noah taps the man on the shoulder, he doesn't turn around but addresses you

???: "Who are you?"

Middo:..?

???: ".. I said who are you??"

Middo:?

???: "... What the hell is wrong with you? You deaf or somethin'? Who are you???"

Noah: "My name is Noah."

Middo:...

???: "Alright 'Noah'.. My name is Eddie. Yes, it's Eddie."

Eddie emphasizes the words Noah and Eddie

Middo:.....*kinda shakey*

Noah: "Okay..Have you seen a man around 6'3" with dirty blonde hair, fair skin and green eyes, with another blonde guy with a brown jacket, white shirt, blue jeans?"

Eddie: "... That second guy.. That sounds like James.."

Middo:?

Eddie: ".. Did he send you here?! Are you here to make me feel useless?!"

Noah: "No-! Not at all!"

Middo:....

Eddie suddenly pulls out a revolver and aims it at both if you

Eddie: "You're just like the rest of them!"

Middo:*quietly* w-what

Eddie fires a shot at Noah but misses on purpose

Eddie: "F**k you! F**k James! F**k all of you!!"

Middo:*in mind* what the f-k did i do to you

Eddie turns to you

Eddie: "Why are you so quiet?? What, you silently judging me?! I should kill you!!"

Noah: "Calm down-!"

Middo:....*shakes head*

Eddie: "I should just shoot you right here, right now!!"

Eddie fires at you, missing on purpose again

Middo:WHAT THE F-K DID I DO TO YOU?

Eddie: "You're just like the rest of them!'

Noah: "Just like wh-"

Noah is cut off by Eddie shooting him in the arm

Middo:....! *she is internally debating whether to run or not*

Noah grabs his arm and grunts

Noah: "Eddie..! What the hell..?!"

Middo:...

Eddie: "All of you people are the same! You all want to make fun on me!"

Noah: "No! That's not it at all..!"

You see that Eddie loosens his grip on his gun a bit

Middo:.....

Eddie keeps telling at Noah

Middo:.....

Noah sees an opportunity and grabs Eddie's gun, aiming it at him

Middo:...!

Noah: "Eddie.. Just back away.."

Middo:....

Eddie doesn't move

Eddie: "Give me the gun back!"

Middo:?

Eddie tries to assault Noah, which leads to Noah shooting Eddie

Middo:*throws a dagger at them missing on purpose*

Eddie collapsed on the floor, dead

Middo:....

Noah drops the gun and hoods his gunshot wound

"Ahhh.. "

Middo:y-you ok Noah? *takes off her bag to look for bandage*

"No.. Adrenaline rush is wearing off. It hurts..."

Middo:*find bandage,gauze,and stuff to clean the wound in first-aid kit

".. Thanks.."

Middo:this may sting *starts to clean the wound*

Noah groans

Middo:*jerks back*

".. Sorry.."

Middo:i-its o-ok *continues to clean the wound*

"... Thank you.."

Middo:n-no problem....*put gauze on wound and wraps the bandage around it tight but not to tight*

".. I'm sorry.."

Middo:i-its ok

".. Do you event think about what you're doing here?'

Middo:...?

"Like.. How you got where you are.'

Middo:sometimes

".. I wonder.."

Middo:hm?

".. What's my purpose?"

Middo:i-i d-dont k-know

'.. Neither do I.."

Middo:who was that guy back at the school?

".. I don't know.."

Middo:....

".. We should get outta here.."

Middo:what about Ben and James

"We can still find them. I'm not giving up."

Middo:....where are they?

"... I don't know."

Middo:....why do i think.....that they are at the school.....

"... I don't know.."

Middo:...s-should we check....

"... If you want to.."

Middo:...y-ya....

"... Okay.."

Middo:hope that thing aint there

"Hopefully not.."

Middo:*grabs dagger* lets go

You and Noah head to the school

Middo:*has dagger out just incase* Ben?

Noah looks around cautiously

Middo:....

".. I have a bad feeling..'

Middo:?

".. Let's just head inside.."

Middo:y-ya

You and Noah head inside

Middo:Ben?

You hear the metal scraping again, but you don't see Pyramid Head

Middo:*tightens grip on dagger*

Noah looks around

Middo:....

"... Should we head upstairs..?'

Middo:ya

"Okay.. Let's go.."

Middo:*nods*

You and Noah head upstairs

Middo:...

You two look around classrooms but don't see anything. You hear the scraping get louder

Middo:sh-t

".. Hide.."

Middo:*nods*

"Hide. In the locker. Now..!"

Middo:*hides*

Noah runs and hides somewhere

Middo:*in mind* hope Noahs ok

You hear Pyramid Head's loud, pounding foot steps walk past. Then Pyramid Head opens the locker next to you. You hear metal scraping, Noah gasp and scream in pain, then a few seconds later, glass breaking. You then hear Pyramid Head walk away

Middo:*come out* *quietly* N-Noah?

You look in the locker where Noah was hiding. Off to the right, there's a thick, long hole in the metal. You look behind you and see a broken window

Middo*runs to the window*

You see Noah laying on his side. There's a massive gaping stab wound in his stomach and his leg is broken

Middo:*prepares to jump out the window*

Noah groans in pain and shifts a bit

".. Wait..!"

Middo:*nods looking back*

"... Ladder.."

Middo:oh ye *climbs down*

Noah coughs up blood

Middo:*hugs him crying*

".. I'm sorry.."

Middo:*thinking out loud* this is my faut

"... No.... It's.. Mine.."

Middo:it was my idea to came back

"... I brought you into this..."

Middo:....

Noah looks up at you

".. I.. I don't wanna die.."

Middo:lets get you to a hospital.....

".. Too late..."

Middo:?

".... I've... Lost too much blood...."

Middo:...

".... I'm sorry..."

Middo:....

Noah coughs up some more blood

"... If you see James.. Tell him.. I died.. Looking for him..."

Middo:trys to cover up the fact shes crying*

"..."

Noah bleeds out and his skin goes cold

Middo:*crying*

Noah is gone, but now you want to find James and Ben even more

Middo:*in mind* Where are you Ben.....

You hear a church bell toll

Middo:...

You look where the noise was coming from and see a cemetery. You think that that might be a good place to look

Middo:*goes to the cemetery*

You see a girl laying on the ground

Middo:oh god

You turn the girl over and see that she has a knife in her hand. She also has a stab wound in her body

Middo:...

You looks up and see a mausoleum

Middo:....

You walk over to it and ponder of you should look inside

Middo:*goes in*

You're in a dark room with a lot of urns and coffins. There's a man standing by one of the urns

Middo:?

The man doesn't notice you

Middo:*trying to depict who it is*

The man has blonde hair and he's wearing a brown leather jacket. He had blue jeans on and a grey shirt

Middo:in mind* is that?...no?

The man jolts around

"Ah-! Who are you??"

Middo_M-Middp

(Hm?)

(I guess the other one)

(ok)

".. W-Will it help if I introduce myself first? My name is James..'

Middo:M-Middo

".. I like your name. My last name is Sunderland."

James smiles

Middo:*in mind*it is

".. What are you doing in Silent Hill?'

Middo:l-lokinfg for my friend

"What's his name?"

Middo:B-Ben

"Ben, huh? Never seen him around here.."

Middo:*confused*

".. Hey, have you seen one of my friends around here?"

Middo:Noah?

"Yeah, yeah! Noah!"

Noah's lifeless body flashes past your mind

Middo:*nods holding back tears*

".. What's wrong?"

Middo:....

"..Hey.."

Middo:hm?

"What's wrong?"

Middo:N-Noah....

"Yeah? What about him?"

Middo:H-He d-died looking for you.......

James's eyes widen and his mouth drops

"..."

Middo:....

"I-I... Wow..."

Middo:....

"I.. H.. How did he die?"

Middo:Some guy with a pyramid head at the school

".. I know who that is."

Middo:*sightly backs up* w-who

"It's gonna be hard to hear, but he's a physical manifestation of my guilt."

Middo:!

".. Yeah."

Middo:....

"It's.. Hard to hear..'

Middo:*inn mind* why didit kill Noah then....

"Oh! Didn't he die?"

Middo:I got a not from him....although i thought he had died

"... I'm sorry to say, but you wasted your time.."

Middo:so...he is

"Mhm.'

Middo:o-oh

"I'm sorry."

Middo:....

".. Did they say I died as well?"

Middo:ya?

"I faked it.."

Middo:o-oh

"I didn't want people looking for me.."

Middo:o-oh

"I came here looking for my wife, Mary.."

Middo:o-ok

"... But she died.. Three years ago.."

Middo:o-oh.....

"... I killed her.."

Middo:....

"She was sick.."

Middo:....?

"I killed her so she wouldn't have to suffer anymore.."

Middo:o-oh....

".. Is what I did wrong..?'

Middo:...

".. No.. No.. It's not wrong......... Is it..?"

Middo:*slowly nods*

"... I know.."

Middo:....

"... I.. I'm rambling again, aren't I?"

Middo:?

"I'm sorry.."

Middo:...?

".. I'm rambling.."

Middo:i-its o-ok

"Heh..."

Middo:*quietly thinking out loud* what now

"I don't know.."

Middo:*looks back in the direction of the school*
*n mind* should i go back......

"Hm?"

Middo:o-oh...n-nothing

"Oh.."

Middo:....

"... You wanna go back.. Don't you..?'

Middo:y-ya.....

"... I won't stop you.. But if you choose to, you may not return.."

Middo:im not leaving the town......

"That's a bad decision, but.. It's yours to make."

Middo:*runs to the school*

On the way, you pass Noah's body. His blood is dried and a darker red. Visions of his death pass by your mind as you pass him

Middo:*winces*

You enter the school

Middo:...

Along the way, you pass the broken window where Pyramid Head threw Noah. Visions of it pass by your eyes again

Middo:*in mind* n-no

You see a lone classroom

Middo:*goes in*

You see a gut wrenching sight. A pile of about 5-7 child corpses, covered in dried blood. On the wall, it's written in messy black ink 'THE GUILT'

Middow-w-wha-

You see another body in the corner of the room, this one adult

Middo:!

You recognize this body. It's Ben

Middo:*curls up on the ground crying*

You see a shadow behind you

Middo:!

You look up and see a completely black humanoid figure

Middo:w-w-w-w-who-

The figure just stands there

Middo:?

"... You.."

The figure points at you

Middo:w-what-

".. You.. Must.. Leave..."

Middo:?

More figures show uo around you

Middo:*curls up and hides her face*

"You.. Must.. Leave.."

Middo:w-why....?

"Not.. Safe.."

Middo:who are you?

"Not.. Safe..."

More shadows show up

Middo:WHO ARE YOU?

"Not safe.."
"Not safe..."
"Not safe..."
"Not safe..."
"Not safe..."
"Not safe..."
"Not safe..."


All of the shadows keep saying that

Middo:*curlls up near ben's body crying*

All the voices suddenly silence when you hear stomping footsteps and metal dragging outside the classroom

Middo:*shaking scared and crying* *in mind* why did i come back here....alone

You notice a locker in the room

Middo:*hides in locker*

The Pyramid Head walks into the room and looks at the locker

Middo:....

Pyramid Head walks out of the room, after what felt like minutes of him staring at you

Middo:*in mind* why did he not attack me?

The room is silent

Middo:...

You step out of the locker

Middo:....

The room is empty

Middo:*sits*

You contemplate what just happened

Middo:*in mind* the hell just happened

The school is unnervingly quiet, with only the very distant sounds of Pyramid Head's footsepts

Middo:*in mind* does it kn im here....if so why isn't it attacking me?

The school is cold

Middo:*in mind* kinna cold.....

You want to leave

Middo:*stands up and walks to the door to leave*

You successfully leave the school

Middo:*looks around*

The town is empty

Middo:*thinking about what Henry said*

You hear Henry's voice in your head

"This town is not what it seems.."

Middo:*in mind* he was right

Suddenly, you hear a distant siren, it almost sounds like a tornado siren

Middo:*in mind* what the?

The fog starts to grow thicker

Middo:...

The world around you starts to turn red, as if a giant was shining a red tinted light on it

Middo:wh-what?

The siren stops and the area is silent

Middo;....

You look at the school. The school looks destroyed, like it got hit with a carpet bombing

Middo:??

You look around, but can barely see anything

Middo:He-Hello?

No response

Middo:*sits*

You see something in the distance

Middo:h-hello

It looks like two people laying on a bedframe

Middo:*aproches slowly*

Upon closer inspection, it appears to be made out of decaying skin

(https://silenthill.fandom.com/wiki/Abstract_Daddy Look in the Appearance and Symbolism section. There's some stuff about it that I don't feel comfortable saying on this post. Fair warning, it's disturbing)

Middo:o-o-oh god....

The Abstract Daddy just stands there, not moving

Middo:h-hello....

The Abstract Daddy turns toward you, not moving

Middo:...

Abstract Daddy just stands there

Middo:...

The fog grows thicker and eventually, you can just barely see 5 inches in front of you

Middo:h-h-h-hello?

You see nothing

Middo:*walks in the school*

The school looks even more deserted then before

Middo:*exploing*

You see an elevator

Middo:?

It looks like it works

Middo:*goes in*

The elevator has only one working button

Middo:*presses it*

The elevator starts moving down

Middo:...

It feels like 5 minutes before the elevator stops

Middo:?

You see a hellish landscape building

Middo:...?

There are chains hanging from the ceiling, and the school has the same red hue as the world before

Middo:....
(soo ismiddo stuck there or)

(No but you can explore more if you want)

(ok)
Middo:*looks around*

The school is devoid of people

Middo:*cotinues looking round*

You see a room

Middo:*goes in*

You see a lone person sitting at a desk

Middo:h-hello

The kid turns to you

"Hello."

Middo:w-whats your name

"Jesse."

Middo:nice to meet you

"Thank you."

Middo:?

"What's your name?"

Middo:Middo

"I like it."

Middo:t-thanks

"Why are you in Silent Hill?"

Middo:no clue....at this point

"Was there a point where you knew why?"

Middo:y-ya

"What is it?"

Middo:.....my friend.....

"Did he ask you to come here?"

Middo:ya he-....How'd you know it was a male?

"... Lucky guess."

Middo:....

".. What day is it?"

Middo:no clue.....

"That's a shame.. What happened to your friend?"
