Silent Hill 2: The Fourth Hour

Having just narrowly escaping Pyramid Head by running around in circles for five minutes and waiting for him to get distracted, I exited the apartment building to find myself in the alleys of down town Silent Hill. I immediately ran into the little girl from the apartments who had kicked away a key I was reaching for through a gate and I had failed, thus far, to shoot in the face with the gun I had scavenged. I tried calling her on her shit but she was being a snotty little brat, as is her M.O. She had been reading a letter when I approached. It was absolutely none of my business, and had no reason to believe the little girl's letter pertained to me in anyway whatsoever, but I decided to ask her about it anyway. She told me it was none of my business, really the most likely scenario in retrospect, and said I never loved "Mary" anyway. Mary?, I thought to myself, that is my dead wife Mary's name too. It must be a letter from her. She ran away from me, as though a near stranger had never approached her in an empty alley and asked her questions about her personal life. I metaphorically shrugged and proceeded to Rosewater Park, which is the next destination I imagined could be the "special place" mentioned in the letter I got from my dead wife, asking me to meet her. Why she choose not to be more specific about this meeting place I'll never know. Because she's dead. And can't explain what she wrote in letters. Or write letters. I reached the dock in the park overlooking Toluca Lake. And there was Mary! Or a woman who looked somewhat like Mary, so my first thought was that it had to be her! It wasn't her. Meet Maria. Her skills include dressing provocatively, making sexually suggestive remarks toward strangers, and housing keys to various establishments in her undergarments. I explained to Maria that I was looking for my dead wife. She took it pretty well and didn't ask any awkward questions about my current psychological state. Plus she reminded me that the Lakeview Hotel might have been the "special place" Mary was talking about. As I left to visit the hotel Maria freaked out on me for leaving her alone in a city full of monster. As if her safety is my responsibility somehow. As we left the park she nagged and nagged about me trying to leave here in the park where it was "not safe" because of all the "monsters" and suddenly I didn't miss Mary quite so much as I did before. On the way to the hotel I found a bowling alley! Awesome! I love bowling! I had to go in. Maria, the bitch, waited outside. What a nag. In the bowling alley I heard my new friend, Pukey-Eddie, talking to Laura, the key-kicker. Apparently Eddie is guilty of something or other, running away from someone for doing something. It was all pretty vague. Laura took off when I showed up. I decided I had to chase down Laura because of all the "monsters" in the city. I didn't want the kid blowing up at me the way Maria did a few minutes ago. I took a second to berate Eddie for eating pizza while the town got overrun by monsters, then I hoofed it back outside to chase down a little girl in a foot race through the streets of Silent Hill. I grabbed Maria on the way out and she pointed out which way the girl ran. We tracked the girl to a small alley that was too narrow for us to go through. Maria pulled the key to a near by "gentleman's club" out of her bra, and we cut through the strip club. Back on the streets we tailed the frightened little girl to the Silent Hill hospital. We followed the little girl into the vacant hospital. I with my gun drawn, Maria with keys stuffed in her underwear for no apparent reason.
