The Emperor

Timothy D. Tucker

Authors Notes:

Well, I'm back to writing in the series that I started off with: Silent Hill. The reason that Silent Hill has captivated me so much is that it's an extremely intriguing universe with a multitude of characters and untold stories. There is a lot of room for creative liberties in writing fan-fiction due to its voluminous content and ambiguous nature. The Emperor deals with the story of Angela Orosco as she copes with the physical and mental abuse from her father. Unlike a lot of Silent Hill fan-fiction which deal with the "other-worldly, decaying environments, deformed creatures," I have decided to take a much more subtle route with my tale. I guess you can say It's cerebral, dealing with the psychological background of Angela and why she did what she did.

In keeping in tone with the story, I want to share with you some lyrics from one of my new favorite songs. It deals a lot with some of the themes in the story and is a good listen. It's told from the perspective of three people: a young girl who is abused by her father, the father, and the vocalist of the band seeking revenge against the father's actions. Check it out if you get the time.

The Flame

By Chimaira

Her eyes opened

after that terrible night

would she ever be the same

a revelation of her own demise

No one but herself to blame

Her silence only fueled The Flame

and now the angles

have lost their wings

in daddy's playground

nothing is what it seems

this was the last time

that he'd see her

that he'd touch her

that he'd make his little girl scream out loud

I'm going to pound you into oblivion

I will make you fucking bleed

there is no escaping me

this is your destiny

He came to her

through the windows again

the fan blowing to hide the noise

no hesitation from the Devil inside

Everything he touched was destroyed

His madness only fueled The Flame

and now the angles

have lost their wings

in daddy's playground

nothing is what it seems

this was the last time

that he'd see her

that he'd touch her

that he'd make his little girl scream out loud

I'm going to pound you into oblivion

I will make you fucking bleed

there is no escaping me

this is your destiny

Time to walk with me

Time to die

let me take you somewhere secluded

where only the trees can see

if I can't have you no one will

didn't you know it was always me

Your flame now burned out

you were daddy's little girl

your flame all burned out

oh God what have I done
