It had happened again. Just when Heather thought she was finally going to drift off to sleep and stay that way, she would have the nightmare again. To be honest, it wasn't Silent Hill itself that she dreamt about. It was her father. She had the same repetitive nightmare about the day she'd walked into the apartment she shared with her father and found him mutilated while still sitting in his armchair. That was what made Heather go to Silent Hill in the first place, to seek revenge, and that was what still caused Heather to smoke, drink, and even cut on more than one occasion. She knew her father would hate her reacting this way, but she didn't know what else to do. After what had happened, she couldn't seem to go back to normal. Whatever that was.
To get some fresh air, Heather had exited the small hotel room she'd managed to find for herself that was cheap enough for her to affored, going outside to get some fresh air and have a cigarette. It sometimes helped to clear her head after the nightmare, and she was sometimes able to fall back to sleep. Sometimes.
She knew of the dangers lurking in Los Angeles, but she lingered by the door and made sure she would have a quick means of escape if something happened.
