Wow. Your vast vocabulary, amazing descriptions and ability to keep Eileen and Henry in character just make this story that much more amazing. Loved it. Beautifully haunting.

An interesting story you have here.

Now I'm getting an idea of why Silent Hill has so many locked and jammed doors - normal people were either bolting them from within, or the locks were destroyed by monsters.

Although I don't buy much of why Zowie has to be put outside; if people outside can be turned into wheelchair monsters before the siren but not after, then it should be the same for animals.

Zowie:

So far as shown in the game series, people were either involved in Silent Hill from the Order's activities or they had some taint of their own to be drawn and trapped in the town. The "town" is something that feeds from the people it entraps while it also spreads its influence through anyone Order or non-Order willing or "qualified" to do its will.

It was never shown unambiguously in the series the nature of Silent Hill's creatures. When were they transformations of people and when were they manifestations? And what governs who transforms and what manifests? Yours seems to be based on the movie. (the ash falling, townspeople able to hear siren before transition to Otherworld)

I just feel sorry for the dog who filled this role in your story. He doesn't seem like someone the town would transform. (being generally good-natured)

Downpour, Homecoming, and Silent Hill 3 all had tainted ending. And I read somewhere that Origin hints at this possibility for Travis.

So why shouldn't Eileen or Henry transform instead?

Brilliantly creeply. I applaud you.

Beautiful! Absolutely stunning, I've read many fan-fics during my stint on this website, and this so far has been my favorite. Your way with words is outstanding and top-notch. Please keep writing, this is obviously something you're very passionate about.

I'm surprised at how little reviews you're getting. I really enjoy your literary voice-you understand the importance of diction and sensory description when so many other authors on here are neglecting it. The atmosphere you created is marvelously haunting. Keep up the great work-you've earned yourself another devoted admirer )

Wow! This was actually really scary. And I'm not scared that easily. Great job, very interesting story. This story could even hold its own. I hope you continue writing more fics like this.

I'd be more than happy to give you constructive criticism... but, let's be honest here, I don't have any. From piecing your fic together to giving the details on the dog, the effects of Silent Hill, information on the characters' personalities, and every other description that you gave, this was awe-inspiring. I loved it, and I'm looking forward to your next fics. _

Nice work. Just out of curiosity, and judging by your last story, do you envision Henry as having more of a supernatural tie to the town than Eileen?
