Hollowshire

     Recently for Creative Writing class, I have had to write a short story. Mine is called Hollowshire. I was inspired to write this by the famed video game series Silent Hill. I am personally a huge fan of this series of games and I play them often. The mere eerie setting of the game gives me chills, and I wanted to accomplish that in my story. 

     The story is set in an abandoned town called Hollowshire, hence the title of the story. The main character wakes up in the middle of a street, not knowing where she is. All that she knows is she is NOT safe. Sirens are howling throughout the town, and she takes them as a warning. When she gets a text message saying "Save us from danger, save us from evil", she definitely knows something is wrong. She tries to escape, knowing that she is in severe danger. The problem is, how do you leave when there are no exits?..
