HOMETOWN 2: Crimson Ice (Prologue)
June 2013 - Two months after the events of HOMETOWN. Winter stared at his grim reflection in the cracked mirror that hung by a thread over the filthy sink in the chapel's bathroom. As icy tears ran down his 16 year old cheeks, he pondered how his life (if one could even call it that) had gotten to this point. He was broken. Utterly and completely broken. As he gazed at the pathetic reflection of a skinny, confused boy with floppy white - almost translucent - hair, button nose, and abnormally red lips, he silently asked himself how the truth he recently learned about himself was even possible. Granted, nothing about Winter was what anyone - including himself - would classify as "normal"....especially after being adopted by The Order. "It's not like they need me anyway!" he sniffled. "They're just looking to increase their numbers." That much was true. Recent events had pushed The Order even deeper into hiding. Blame it on more outsiders moving here. Blame it on an increased American
Black Ice
Driving slowly along on this road of life
Dealing through hardship, bias and strife
Slipping and sliding across frozen lanes
Missing my exit on the last interchange
Black icy pavement under my wheels
This interstate is sublimely surreal
Avoiding collisions every few miles
No music heard on the radio dials
There was a time that this road was sound
With no slick ice coating the ground
Before winter's harsh frozen chill
From there though it all went sadly downhill
The ice is thickening with the dropping thermometer
As the miles fly by on the relentless odometer
Years left to drive, conditions will surely get worse
This long, danger

As the elevator descended back down to the lobby, I thought of that strange nurse. "My God...she's been stuck here since the 40's! If I don't find a way to fix things soon, could...that be me one day? While the world goes on without me, I'd be forever stuck in another dimension in 2013 for eternity!", I lamented. "Years from now, I would just be another disappearance in Silent Hill, among a long line of others. Just then, I immediately heard a high pitched screeching sound that brought me to knees. It forced my eyes shut and penetrated directly into my skull.
"Ahhh...fuck! NOW what!!??", I screamed to myself. While I k

HOMETOWN FLASHBACKS (part 1)
The wind blew especially strong on this blustery November morning. 26 year old Abagael McKeever was running late. "Shouldn't have been up so late with my fella", she told her friend Kathy. "Too late now though, isn't it?"
Kathy looked at at her friend with a smirk on her face. That was so Abagael! Throw caution to the wind and then complain when faced with the consequences. "Yeah Abby, but at least you have a fella! You so much prettier than me. I'm going to be a spinster well into the next decade."
"Relax Kathy..1920 is still two years away. I'm sure I can get you a man by then...now come on. If we wanna make the trolley, we better move our

It was at that moment that...once again...the door to room S-4 creaked open again. I knew this time it would not be empty.
I slowly made my way down the radically altered hellish hallway, towards S-4. From the opened door, I could see a flickering electric light come from inside the patient room, which bounced off the hallway's opposite rusted wall. Muffled was the sound of The Andrew's Sisters 'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy Of Company B' which played eerily from the inside of patient room S-4. Although I wasn't close enough yet to see inside the room, I could feel both comfort and despair come from it at once - mixed in a
