The package on my doorstep had my name, but I definitely didn’t order it. Weird. Once inside, I took off the tape and saw a full kit for a PC. No way, did I buy this? How come I don't remember? This is a huge purchase! My bank account's balance still seems to be fine. Was this mailed to me by mistake? Did the post office screw up? I low-key want to keep it, but wouldn't I be stealing someone's PC? Nah, I can't do that. But the processor's so nice. Why don't I just give the post office a quick call? The kit isn't even fully closed, it's probably used. What if someone sent it to me as a gift!
...
They said it was for sure designated to me. Sweet! Who sent it? That's so nice of them. Was it my sister? Did she feel bad for forgetting my birthday? It fits so nicely on my desk as well, it has to be someone who visits often. They even knew the case I wanted! Could be my mom, she always wanted to get me one. I'll call her tomorrow, time to start this baby up!
There's a desktop note, probably by the my admirer. *click click*

How's the PC? Pretty nice, huh? I knew you'd like, you kept mentioning you wanted one so I thought to get it for you! It apparently has one of the processors on the market. Won't that be nice to run all those games you like? I remember watching you play those stupid horror games. What were they called again - silent hill? IT? Never knew why you liked them. Anyways! I kinda wanted to keep this a surprise, but couldn't wait till you finally called me - I'm getting married! The wedding's happening at that cute town 30 minutes away. Here is your formal invitation. You better be there sucker! I created a group chat for general inquiries, join it!
--------------------------
Why the hell would my sister get married and not even call me! Who even is this guy? And why isn't she picking up! What? Is she so busy she has to have her bridesmaids answer me. Just you wait till I get a hold of you.

💬
Welcome to the wedding of Mr. and Ms. Gans!
Feel free to leave a message and we'll get back to you asap!
I need to contact Ms. Gans
why did she already change her last name??
Hi! My name's Dahlia and I'm one of the bridesmaids!
Unfortunately, Ms. Gans is busy right now, with the wedding being in a few hours and everything. I could try getting your message across, but it might be best to just tell her in-person!
As for her last name, that was a personal decision and I can't comment on that!
whats the address
I'll send you a map link!
-----------------------------
Did she not think to tell me sooner? Why did she not even bother to call and ask if I got the PC yet? What if the package was late and I missed her wedding? Who is she even getting married to! Why is she being so rash. If I get into a car crash, I'm blaming her. Stupid. Wait, why the heck is there a kid on the side of the road? It's the middle of nowhere? Is she trying to hitchhike? The hell?
"Kiddo what are you doing? Did your parent's car break down?"
"No, I was told to wait here and see if I could go to the next town""Who told you that? Is everything okay?"
...
... ...
"Hello?"
...
"Mister can you please just take me to the next town over? I'll be in big trouble if I don't go."
"Who said that?"
...
... ...
"Fine." Now I gotta stop by the police station too, bloody hell. We're almost there though, I should make it on time. Stupid sister, who cares if she got me a PC, if I'm not important enough for her to even know about her wedding beforehand what's the point! I'm going to object to the wedding! Hah! Who cares! Hah! Hah ha ha h-
*SKIDDDD*
MY GOD. WHO WALKS INTO THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY. I HAVE A KID IN THE CAR THE HEL-
.
.
.
...W-what just happened.. Where am I? In a car. I was driving... with a kid. THE KID! Where the heck is she? Why is it so foggy? It looks like she walked away. I think we were almost at the town. Maybe she went there. I should go get some help.
...
"Is anybody there?"
This is strange. It's quiet. Too quiet. This place is like a ghost town.
I think I saw movement through the fog. It looks like the kid!
"Wait up! Where are you going?"
Damn she's fast. Probably just as scared as me. Poor kid, what the heck did I just do? I hope she's not injured.
I think she went down this alley...
What is this?
...
There's blood all over the wall. Is it hers? She's tiny, she can't have bled this much? Could she have? What did I just do? I don't want to have killed the kid! Where is she? Her footprints go further down this alley.
That's strange, it's getting darker...
...
A broken wheelchair? What's this doing here? This is beyond strange, I'm getting the kid and running.
"Kiddo come on, it's me, I'm scared too. Let's get out of here."
What's that ahead? A bed? In the middle of an alley? Someone's on it.. Someone bloody. I'm out of here, screw the kid! I came from this alley right? OH GOD I DIDN'T. WHY IS THERE A CORPSE CRUCIFIED ON A FENCE. NAH. NAH. NAH.
Where the hell am I? I needa head back to where I cam– WHAT JUST GRABBED MY LEG. WHAT KINDA THING IS THAT? A CHILD? IT'S TOO PALE TO BE ALIVE!
I kicked it away and started running.
Ten more emerged and started chasing me! AHHH.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
The car's broken, how do I get out of here? I don't care, I'll run back home! Where's the road though? Why is there just a canyon? My God, those weird looking things probably aren't too far behind. I needa get out of here.
"Hi," a voice whispered.
I whirled around. "Bloody hell-, kiddo we need to run. Hold my hand and stay quiet."
"You didn't ask my name."
"Now's not the time! Hold my hand and stay quiet"
"No, ask my name."
"Seriously, fine, quick, what's your name."
"Cheryl"
"Cool kid, now let's-"
"I already spoiled too much," she interrupted. "They won't like that. I'm going to get in trouble but I couldn't keep it in any longer. It was a surprise!"
"What? Who's they?"
"They gave you the PC."
"You mean my sister?"
"No silly. They had to make you happy! Make you have an adventure! You had to find me in time or else they'd kill me. That was the game. You didn't do that so I don't think they'll let you go. They're programmed to get the best result. If they can't get that, they try to learn again. But with new data. Not with you!"
"Kid, what the hell are you rambling on about, we need to leave."
"Did you not figure it out yet? What they named this place?"
"Kid, I see those things again, we running."
"It's Silent Hill! Silent Hill! They wanted you to play that! You had to follow the path! Didn't you know? Now it's confused and thinks you're the problem. It has to learn you know! And it needs to train on a lot of people! So, I think your turn's done now."
"Where is the bloody road? What is this an island?"
"Mister"
"I'm in no mood for jokes"
"Goodbye Mister!"
"Where are you going?? And why are you so fast?"
No way. This can't be happening. Those creature are almost here. And I'm alone. What the hell. This can't be happening! What was her name? "Cheryl? Cheryl!!"
