WRITING: Gravity (Chapter 1)

[phantastus]

Title: GRAVITY
Chapter: 1 (Sirens in His Ears)
Author: phantastus
Fandom: Silent Hill
Rating: G-PG
Genre: I don't even know.
Main characters: James Sunderland, Laura
Summary: Well, James did it. He survived Silent Hill and accepted truth and retribution for his sins.
... Now what?
Notes: Chapter 1 of my ongoing, obscenely long SH2 fanfic. Set directly after the Leave Ending, but contains heavy implications of In Water. The fic is mirrored over here along with eight subsequent chapters, but I will be posting the most up-to-date edits here for the time being.
This story was initially written (and is still in progress) for NaNoWriMo 2009.
Disclaimer/Warnings: This fanfic depicts events and situations that may be considered violent or cruel, on par with the canon source material. This chapter deals with potentially-upsetting concepts including but not limited to:

-written descriptions of physical wounds
-traumatic flashbacks
-terminal illness
-references to murder and suicide
-a butt joke

Please read at your own risk.

ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER: Although it's seen a few edits since it was written, this first chapter was written a long time ago and as such doesn't necessarily reflect the current writing style of the story. In fact, the author finds it embarrassingly long-winded and ponderous, but has banned herself from going back and fiddling with it anymore in the interest of moving the story forward and writing new material instead. SORRY. I PROMISE IT GETS BETTER.
