Franklin headed down the side road from the main road he heard the voice. Night was approaching at an uncomfortable speed and the last thing he wanted to do was to stay overnight in an abandoned town. God knows what kind of animals or dangerous people could be in this derelict town? He'd considered calling for help but getting arrested for trespassing did not sit well with the man, and even if he were willing the hills interfered with the signal and he doubted that the cell towers in the town were still functional after all these years of disrepair. 

[b]"I really really hope I get out of here soon."[/b]The thought of dying here sent chills down the man's spine and the idea of making his wife, best friend, and adoptive father suffer that way made him determined to leave this place alive. He didn't have to jog long before he made it into the town proper. The light of day had disappeared behind the hills and he was forced to use his phone as a way to see where he was going. At night, Silent Hill seemed even more creepy than it had any right to be. The overgrown buildings seemed to be like empty husks, the cracks on the road and sidewalks resembled spiderwebs, and even the shadows seemed to move and jump at him at times. But regardless on how he felt, he forged onward. [b]"Silent Hill has loads of roads leading in and out. Bound to be at least one way where folks illegally got in. Of course there would be one or two near here...r-right?"[/b] The lone man muttered to himself as he wandered the dark streets of the cursed town.

Reaching the first intersection, it was revealed that the way out of town had been fenced off like the way he entered. Similarly for the next intersection. Franklin was getting disheartened. Then something fell on his head causing him to yelp before it fell to the road. Shining his flashlight to what it was, it was his car keys. Irritated he looked up to the night sky and berated the bird flying overhead that only now decided to return the keys. [b]"Thanks so FUCKING much you little shit."[/b] He harshly whispered to the unseen bird. But before he even could utter another word, he notices something fluttering on the abandoned Happy Burger beside him. There was an old note taped onto the dust caked window he could barely look into. Approaching the worn paper, he began to read it.

[quote]Joey, I'm so sorry. I couldn't do it any more.
This town, no, this [color=red]HELL[/color] is too much for me.
I really wanted to see you again, but the [color=red]monsters[/color] keep getting mommy. 
Mommy just wants to leave now.
Please. Mommy didn't mean to leave you in the bath. 
Forgive mommy for letting you drown.

[b]"Creepy."[/b] He mutters under his breath as he steps back and steps on something. Looking down he sees a crumpled tourist's map of Silent Hill. [b]"This...this could be useful in keeping track of blocked roads."[/b] He unfolds the map as best he can and takes a photograph of it. Once satisfied with the photo, he begins to squiggle red marks on the roads that he had encountered to be blocked. With that done, he begins to cautiously explore the town further.
