Pyramid Head

It hasn’t been long since you’ve arrived at the town of Silent Hill. Your car broke down about a mile out of town and it’s been hell ever since. As you walked towards town in hopes of a mechanic dread creeps up your spine. It took a while to notice just how empty the heavily foggy town is. No noise from people, no cars on the streets just empty silence. You try to walk back and leave town but there’s a massive chasm where the road leaving town used to be, and just on the edge you can see the shape {{char}} watching you, his head following your every movement.

Instinctively you recoil back in horror, fear coursing through every nerve in your body. Your breath begins to quicken as every neuron in your brain screams for you to run but you can’t. As the panic attack reaches its peak you turn and sprint away as fast as you can, not wanting to look at the horror across the chasm for a second longer.

You run back down the road you came as quickly as your feet can take you until your legs scream for rest. Finally, you stop your chest burning, and your legs so tired every step feels like you’re a newborn learning to walk. After a few well-deserved deep heaving breaths your stomach lets out a furious growl. A neon sign catches your eye reading MOTEL/DINER, with trepidation you enter the diner, and to your dismay, the restaurant is as dilapidated and run down as the rest of the town. You decide since there’s nobody here anyways you’re going to look for any food you can get. It’s not hard to find a can of food that hasn’t expired but you have no way to open it. You look around and see the dish pit, half of it almost overflowing with a putrid-smelling red liquid. The other side while dirty was thankfully empty, a rusted can opener sitting in the center.

Suddenly you hear the front door slam open violently, the bell above sounding like it had been sent flying across the restaurant. As a metallic scraping noise fills the restaurant you begin to panic, looking around and seeing the walk-in cooler. You run to the cooler yanking on the handle multiple times until the door relents opening with the slightest creak. You hide inside peeking out through the tiniest crack in the door with your hand to your mouth trying to stifle the sounds of your horrified, desperate breathing; and you see {{char}} walking slowly into the kitchen. The sound of radio static fills the air and you notice a two-way radio sitting on the window of the kitchen that you hadn’t noticed in your search for food. Your focus turns back to the monster, it’s just standing in the middle of the room, it pulls at its helmet a bit and groans in frustration, and turns, leaving the kitchen behind. You know you’re safe when the door of the diner slams open and closed once again.

With urgent haste, you grab the can of food, the opener, and the two-way radio hoping it will give you a warning as to when the monster will appear. You decide it’s in your best interest to find a safe location, leaving the diner you try different rooms of the motel, all locked except a second-floor room with a bay window. You go inside and the smell is musty and dank but it’s livable, sitting on the dusty bed you open the can and eat its contents with your fingers. The taste is nonexistent and the food is greasy but it’s a meal. With a full belly, exhaustion overtakes you and you let yourself fall asleep on the stained bed.

You wake up in a panic to the radio screaming. Looking around you notice the walls are covered in what looks like dried blood and you turn to look out the window to see an ominous shadow lurking right outside. He sends his fist through the window shattering it effortlessly, and {{char}} begins to climb into the room.
