  1. In my restless dreams, I see that town… Silent Hill. You promised you’d take me there again some day… but you never did. Well, I’m alone there now, in our special place… waiting for you.
    I’m thinking about you… i remember the day we were here, in this place, together.. but now i’m here again, but not with you at this time and i miss you.. you said you’ll be with me everytime but you didn’t..
    The sky is dark, the darkness is everywhere, i’m feeling lonely, where are you now…
    Your special place is now my special place, feelings change..
    You promised me that you’ll love me in rest of your love, do you love me too now? Do you thinking about me every single day? No! I don’t think so but i do…
    And even if you don’t think of me, or not coming back, at least I wish that you are all good and nothing happened since we last taked, and that you will save a spot in your heart for me..

  2. You are the one for me. This place can´t hold me back. This town, this place has something special to it. It´s like you in a way…special. My freedom and my will are the things that make me think i don’t belong. This place is for us, but not anymore. My skin is crawling by the thought and dreams I have while a stare out the window. There´s no window…I thought it were something there. It´s like you in a way, great and wonderful in the start but when you open our eye´s you see the emptiness. Hight is out there, the scen is here just for me…I want to press my hand against the window and see the beginning.

  3. That Day, the saucers landed. Hundreds of them, golden, silent, coming down from the sky like great snowflakes. And the people of Earth stood and stared as they descended, waiting, dry-mouthed, to find out what waited inside for us. And none of us knowing if we would be here tomorrow. But you didn’t notice because you didn’t want to, none of us did. We never wanted this to be true. We never wanted to embrace the fact that we might not be alone in the universe. All we ever wanted aliens to be was a description in a book, a man in a costume on TV, or maybe something to shoot in a video game. The thought of us not being alone scared us, so we did nothing. Yet here we stand. We didn’t want to believe the scientists who warned us that this might happen. That one day we would recieve visitors we didn’t want, not from another country but from another planet. And that we would be completely defenceless if they were proven to be hostile. Yet here we stand. All we ever wanted was to be left alone on our planet. Just living day to day until we inevitably blow each other up with our bombs, that was the plan it seemed. Yet here we stand. What happens next is something no one knows, not you, not me, not even the scientists and experts. What they do to us is something only they know. Maybe the will take us as slaves. Maybe the will trade information with us. Or maybe the will conduct experiments on us. There is also always the possibility that they have seen us as a threat and have come to destroy us. Of all the possibilities that exists I only know one thing. Here we stand.

    And none of us knowing ifThat Day, the saucers landed. Hundreds of them, golden, Silent, coming down from the sky like great snowflakes, And the people of Earth stood and
    stared as they d we would be here tomorrow. But you didn’t notice because you weren’t there. It’s been fifty years since that day. That day earth as we all knew it died.

    Do you remember the stories I told you about earth before the Great salvage? Oh, all the luxuries we had back then. You couldn’t even imagine. Water with a tap of a button, instant communication and the best food you could ever taste. I was in my late teens back then every day I went to a school where me and my friends learned ways to improve what we then called society. Since it all happened I have tried to bring people together to try and create something similar to what we had back then but people only think of themselves.

    The first day of the Salvage almost ninety percent of the human population got either massacred or captured to do forced labor. They stayed for five years salvaging earth of resources such as metals and water. They left earth in a state that no longer could support all living which later resulted in local wars for water.

    I have come a long way in recreating society as we once knew it. I now leave it to you to keep my legacy alive.

  5. Short story

    In my restless dreams, I see that town… Silent Hill. You promised you’d take me there again someday… but you never did. Well, I’m alone there now, in our special place… waiting for you.
    I still have the gift that you gave me before you left, the teddy bear, I’ve been holding it tight since you walked away. Whenever I look outside the window all I see is darkness and sadness surrounding the zone, rarely seeing people around, and even if I do they’re all wounded and close to a dying state.

    I can’t stop but think if you will ever come back alive.

    I am all by myself in this big building, I have managed to make a few barricades at the entrance door so nobody can come in. There are a lot of comfortable beds and a lot of food inside, but what is the use of that if I can only share everything with my teddy bear.
    Ever since the war started, everybody ran away. Right before you left everybody went crazy and stole and ran as fast as they could.
    Every time a second passes on the large clock in the room I usually spend my days in, I think of you.
    I miss the old nice days, where the sun was up in the sky and nobody had to worry about anything, but things change I suppose.
    It has only been a few days, but those days felt like years, and all I want you is to come back.

    1. you already knew this was coming. We have always known that there was life on other planets. It was all a matter of time. You just stood there, watching the humans, phones, cameras, panic, stress. You could feel it in the air. Everyone is concerned.

    2. …for the first time in forever, your brother called. He still sounds the same, the tone in his voice, his calmness. It inspires you. The cellphone even picked up the other screaming and mumbling patients in the background. But it’s all okay, he’s still the same. You knew he had a plan for all this
    3. your car rolls up to you, opens the door and plays a sample radio message. ”Auto-bots, roll out.” This was it, the final stand of man”

    4. In my endless dreams, I see that town… Silent Hill. You promised you’d wake me up… but you never did. Well, I’m alone there now, trapped in our special place… waiting for you. Come here, call my name and save me from the dark.

  7. In my restless dreams, I see that town… Silent Hill. You promised you’d take me there again some day… but you never did. Well, I’m alone there now, in our special place… waiting for you. I have been waiting for long to think you exist anymore. In the past days i have been just thinking how fun we had when we where there before and how much we enjoy it, all i want is to have fun with you. Here in my town the mornings and night are dark, its raining all, the road are empty and it will be until until you finally come and take me to the special place you promised me. It was once i guy when i was just walking in the forest he asked told me that it was is best day and that we had went to a special place he had always dreamed of with his girlfriend, that made me happy and at the same time sad because i started to think about you.
    Everyday i just dream off me and you in the special place….i miss you.

    In my restless dreams, I see that town… Silent Hill. You promised you’d take me there again some day… but you never did. Well, I’m alone there now,

    Hoping you’ll recieve this message
    i havent seen signs of human life for months so i hope you’ll read this and find me quick. I’ll be heading to the safest place right now…

    ”they” took our son as a slave to work endlessly to restore the debt. The debt of natural destruction!
    It was moraly wrong to let those animals go through all those test
    And now we suffer for it!

  9. That Day, the saucers landed. Hundreds of them, golden,
    Silent, coming down from the sky like great snowflakes,
    And the people of Earth stood and
    stared as they descended,
    Waiting, dry-mouthed, to find out what waited inside for us.
    And none of us knowing if we would be here tomorrow.
    But you couldn’t notice because you’re not here anymore.

    The saucers, small from afar appeared to grow larger as they came closer and as time went by,
    increasing the restlessness in the hearts of many and producing fear in many more.
    When the saucers landed they stood erected tall as mountains, unorthodox in shape and intimidating everything around them. The gates opened, soundlessly, a few moments had passed yet it felt like an eternity, everything in suspense.

    Out of the threshold came a man, and then another one, and then nothing.
    Everyone were shocked over the turn of events,
    the realization hitting them all like a wave of emotions and warnings their brains sent to their bodies.
    the first one to fall was a woman, around thirty years of age. She looked like an office worker, Everyone watched as the life in her eyes dissapeared as it was sucked out of her neck, her blood flowing down her neck like liquid rubies.

    The things that had come out of the ships had the apperance of humans but their hair was white and their eyes were red, like a fountain of red wine. one of them stood next to her, still sucking on her neck and licking her blood. Moments later, everything was like hell, out of the ship more of the beings streaming out and attacking everything in sight. Luckily i have survived for 30 years since ”the incident” still keeping my promise.

    My dear daughter, i fear that my time has come. I will be with you soon.

  10. ”In my restless dreams, I see that town… Silent Hill. You promised you’d take me there again some day… but you never did. Well, I’m alone there now, in our special place… waiting for you.”
    The voice echoed in a chilling voice through my ears as I entered the abandoned hotel. “Hotel King Edward” the sign read above a silent building.
    “Right, here we go then.”, I said with a shaking voice. You see, I didn’t choose to come here, I was drugged at a bar and I just woke up here with a note that said: “Find the body of your loved one”. So the first building I thought to look through was the hotel, so here I am, climbing the broken stone stairs with shaking legs and a shaky breath.

    When I reached the first floor a gust of wind hit my body, sending chills down my spine, and then. The voice was back.
    “So you do remember… I am up here waiting. As I always was. Now, my friend… come find me.”, the voice said quietly, like it was someone’s last breath. I need to find this person if he or she knows me. I started sprinting up the stairs, jumping over some of the steps until the stairs was to broken to go up. I went to the elevator, and it was as if it was planed, the elevator was there, open but broken.
    “Time to climb then.”, I whispered in a quiet voice. Taking quiet steps up the slightly broken ladder to the top of the elevator “box”. Then I just stood there looking up, thinking of how far it was down if I fell when I was up there. But I just tried to swallow my fears down and took a shaking grip around the elevator ropes and I started climbing up, with better grip for every time I took a new grip on the rope. I was half way up when I saw the only door that was open. I guessed I was lucky, but I should’ve known better. As I was side to side against the door I saw something, a shadow, watching me from the other side of the corridor. It was quiet but then… the wind picked up and blew me off the ropes. From there, everything went in slow motion. I saw the body of my daughter in front of the shadow, staring down the elevator shaft, watching me fall to my death.
    “Welcome… to Silent hill.”, said a chilling voice, carried by the wind, hesitating when saying it. Then I was consumed by darkness, feeling the cold elevator roof hitting my back.

    I had to watch this great movie that just came out and i sat there all by myself thinking about where everyone was at, why doesnt anyone show up to this amazing new action movie. So i sat there at the theater watching the movie until it’s end and thought it was really great. When i came back out though, everyone was gone and I had no clue why. When i got outside the mall there were these golden alien looking chips standing there, so i ran to it and looked inside the window and saw it was a space ship so i rana round it looking for a door and when i found it i had to open it to see what’s inside so i did and when i noticed all the features in it, i took it and flew away and said. Goodbye earth.

  12. Silent Hill

    In my restless dreams, I see that town… Silent Hill. You promised you’d take me there again some day… but you never did. Well, I’m alone there now, in our special place… waiting for you. I never though that we could end up like this: so infinitely far away. Its much lonelier here now, after you left.

    I’ve been walking around this wretched place for to long now. My supplies are running low, I will have to leave soon enough, just haven’t decided how or where to yet. I’ve long been dreaming of leaving for Silent Hill, but now that I actually have the ability and reason to, I cant bear myself to do it. All the memories we made would be too much for me. There isn’t a bigger reason than that as to why I haven’t left yet.

    I eventually pack up the little that I have and leave. Not for Silent Hill but for greener pastures, an opportunity to start anew. I eventually set off. I walk for several days before I’m outside of the force field. It’s a different world out there. There are scavs just about everywhere you look. They aren’t aggressive unless you get too close, so I just kept walking, walking, walking.

    After walking for around 15 days straight, I can finally see force field in the distance. I start heading towards it. Hopefully this town still has a functioning government. As I get closer I can see that their audiohelic generator is still functioning. “This must be a wealthy city” I think to myself. After the war broke out, cities had to put up audiohelic generators to fend of the massive amounts of gazorpazorps that started living in the forest.

    I finally reach the gate. It was a very different experience from anything I had seen before, all the operators remained anonymous. I didn’t think too much of it, as the local inhabitants might house different aggressive creatures. I walk through the gate. As soon as im about to walk through the metal detectors, I get a tap on my shoulder. I turn around, that’s when I see it. “Welcome to Silent Hill” it says. I knew that I would end up here eventually, I just didn’t think it would be like this. As the darkness surrounds me, I see a heavenly figure approach me. “I promised I would take you here again” she says.
    “You certainly did.” I reply.

    But you didn’t notice because
    That was the day, the day that everything was supposed to be good
    You were supposed to get your happily ever after.
    You were going to promise yourself to your love.
    The day you wouldn’t be you.
    You would be we.
    But as the ceremony was about to start someone ran through the door. Something is happening outside. He shouted in a nervous and distressed tone. You gave him an angry glare as you asked what’s more important than this. Everyone was looking at the man standing in the doorway. I… I can’t describe it. He stuttered. People started standing up and walking outside. You took my hand and walked outside with me. You saw the the golden saucers starting to land and all you could do was stare in horror. Everything was silent, no one said anything. All of the sudden you heard a loud sound and people started screaming. People started running in panic as large humanoid creatures walked out of the ship holding what looked like weapons. You stood frozen in place trying to comprehend what was happening. You felt a sharp pain in your chest as everything dimmed before your eyes. All I could do was watch your life less body as people screamed and ran in panic.

    The tour told us to not go here, maybe he was right… we weren’t supposed to go here, not alone…

    They told us it was dangerous to visit this place alone, with no type of equipment…

    It became our special place… we would go here every night, in the moonlight…

    But the darkness had already gotten to you, before you got to it…

    So I’m here by myself tonight, alone under the moonlight… no one by my side…

    Who would take your place…? Will there ever be someone else…?

    Some questions can’t be answered, maybe they shouldn’t be…

    So what’s the point… when you have questions that cannot be answered…?

    The darkness might have the answers to my questions, just like the darkness has you…

    But you didn’t notice because you weren’t looking. You were too fixated on your own world that you were too blind to look at the bigger picture.
    That day the world changed but not you. You were the only one that wasn’t prepared for a change different from you imagination. That is why you are now dead. You couldn’t take your time to see the bigger picture that these mysterious beings weren’t here to cooperate. You were too preoccupied with the moment and the positives about the situation that you failed to realize what was actually going on. Your mistake didn’t only make you pay the ultimate price but countless others as well. Maybe the fear of being alone in the universe was more terrifying than the fear of not. Maybe you are not the only one to blame but what is done is done and cannot be undone.
