Chapter:1: A Forgotten Memory

I was driving down the dirt road that lead back home, thinking about my next book when my phone rang. I fumbled around in my pocket for a few seconds before pulling it out and checking the Caller ID; it was my manager, and friend, Barry. I flicked open the phone to answer the call.

Alan: Hello?

Barry: Hey Alan! Getting your creative juices flowing or what?

Alan: Come on Barry, I've just gotten here. Give me a break or something!

Barry: Ok then. But remember, I want part of that book done by the time you get back!

"Yea, Yea. Alright. I'll see you in a few weeks Barry.

I hung up the phone and placed it back in my pocket. Barry was a nice guy and all, but sometimes he drove me a bit crazy. I suppose that's what managers are for. The sky was getting dark and I rounded the corner of the road, heading into a forest. The cover of the canopy blocked most of the sunlight so I went to flick on my headlights.

They both turned on and there was a jolt then they suddenly died.

"What in the..." I was puzzled as to why my lights suddenly stopped working. Was I out of power? No that made no sense, I was still driving...were the bulbs burnt out? That could be possible… but it wouldn't make sense to both suddenly go out.

Deep in thought, I failed to notice where I was going and the road veered off to the right. I quickly came out of my thought bubble and jerked the wheel to the right. There was a loud bump and the wheel was ripped out of the car.

I had no more control of the car. It was almost like it was driving itself! Doing the next logical thing, I tried to slam on my brakes but the pedal was locked in place! I was in a moving death trap inside a forest, not good.

The car swerved again and I felt it lurch forward as I went off the path. I closed my eyes and braced myself for the inevitable impact. My car slammed headfirst into a tree. The belt lock broke and I went flying forward, smashing head first into the steering wheel. The airbags didn't deploy.

I quickly lost consciousness.

Some time later…

I came to inside a vehicle. It was pretty smashed up. Looking around, I noticed I was inside a forest. This is fine and dandy, but where the hell was I? I think...this is a seat belt? Yes, a seat belt! It's holding me inside this car... How did I get here? Who's car is this? I think it would be mine if... Yes. If I'm in the drivers' seat this would have to be my car! I groaned. I suddenly realized I wasn't sure who I was. I felt something in my pocket. I pulled it out and it turned out to be a wallet. I opened it and a name was there, clear as daylight. My name is… Alan Wake? It sounded familiar, so I had to guess that it was me.

That seems to stick. Ok, so, I'm Alan Wake, and I'm in the middle of a forest. What the hell is going on? There was something on my side. It was blue and had a button. It said the words 'FLASHLIGHT' on the side of it.

I grabbed it, thinking that it was dark and I may need it at some later point in time. I tried to get out of this, thing. It was holding me back in my seat.

I fumbled with it when I noticed a red button on the side of my chair that had the thing connected with it. I pressed the button down. The thing popped out of its' place.

I got out of the car and stumbled onto my feet. As soon as I exited the car, the tree fell over and my car, along with the tree, fell off a cliff. I looked up in the direction where I think I had fallen. The guardrail had a gaping hole inside of it and there were tire marks the whole way.

I wondered for a moment, if that was me. Then I knew, it was me because, who else would have done it. Was I a reckless driver?

Suddenly, a large amount of pain settled into and onto my forehead. I grabbed it and noticed that it was wet. I pulled my hand away from it and noticed that it was red. Was that… Blood?

I smelled it. It smelled like a familiar scent of blood. I tasted it for a moment. Not a smart idea, I threw up. Yes. It was blood, I was certain.

I took a moment to take a deep breath and take in my surroundings. "Ok. So I'm in the middle of nowhere and know nothing about anything. Great." I said to myself.

I glanced around me. There was endless, or what seemed to be endless, woods. I saw a small pathway. Since there was no hope of me being able to get back up or get down, without killing myself, I decided to take the pathway.

I stumbled over to the dirt hill, which I drove off, I suspect, and used it to support me so I can walk a bit better. I leaned onto the hill and slowly dragged myself, my heartbeat slowing down as I traveled on.

I knew that I was going to die. At least, I thought I was going to. I kept going on, my last shreds of hope dissipating as I continued on. Suddenly, I saw a light off into the distance. I looked closer at it. Was that a… A gas station? All the way out here?

I didn't think twice and thanked whoever built that gas station in my head. I continued on again with new hope of surviving.

I then stumbled down even further onto the hill. I was now entering the dark, forbidden woods that would almost appear to be in some sort of a nightmare. I was cautious, because of all the animals that are out of this late.

I continued slowly, mainly because I think that something was keeping me back. Something in the back of my mind is making me afraid. Am I afraid of the dark? Is someone I know afraid of it?

I kept these questions to myself when suddenly a large blue light appears. I cover my eyes, to keep the light from blinding myself.

I reopen them, only to see an anthropomorphic looking animal. I approach it closely, and carefully, still clutching onto my head because of the pain.

My vision began to blur. Or at least, I thought it did. The animal got up and shook it's body, most likely to get some type of water off of its' fur.

I wanted to get a closer look. Some way to observe this animal in a better way. I took a step forward; unluckily there was a twig in the way. There was a loud snap when the animal turned its' attention towards me.

"Come out of there!" it yelled. I was astonished. I could have never thought that an animal would be able to talk! I could predict by its' hostility that it was most likely a male.

I stepped out into the open and the animal looked at me. It approached me and my heart rate increased. "You okay dude?" it asked. I could tell definitely by its' voice that it was a male.

"Who are you?" I asked. "I'm Sonic the Hedgehog! Fastest thing alive!" it replied. "I've never heard of you. But, I need to get somewhere. Do you know where a phone is?" I asked.

He shrugged. "I have no clue but… Wait… Where's Amy?" Sonic asked. "Who?" I replied. "Amy. Amy Rose. She looks the same like me but she wears a dress, a red headband and her fur is pink." He responded.

"I have no clue what you are talking about. My car is crashed a block or two back in that direction and I saw that there was a gas station up ahead. Would you like to come with me and call the police about this, Amy?" I asked.

"Sure. I've always hated the dark." Sonic replied. "Alright. Let's get going." I said as I looked for the button to the flashlight. I saw it and pressed it. A beam of photon energy emitted from it and it shone up the forest.
