Title: GRAVITY
Chapter: 2 (Capsize)
Author: phantastus
Fandom: Silent Hill
Rating: R (see 'Disclaimer/Warnings' for content)
Genre: Horror/Drama
Main characters: James Sunderland, Laura
Summary: Free of the Otherworld but feeling lost, James chooses to seek comfort in his old standby before leaving town-- and is unexpectedly thrust into a harrowing situation in which his choices could mean the difference between life and death for someone he already failed once.
Notes: Chapter 2 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: In keeping with canon, this fanfic depicts events and situations that may be considered violent or cruel. This chapter deals with extremely disturbing concepts and should be read with this in mind. These concepts include but may not be limited to:

-written descriptions of physical wounds
-traumatic flashbacks to monsters and shit
-pedophilia/threats of a sexual nature against a minor
-misogynistic and sexist language
-violence
-harmful enabling of such behavior
-mentions of drug use
-religion, cults, and brainwashing
-gross, pervy old men
-James being both more and less useless than normal
-SILENT HILL IN GENERAL

Please read at your own risk.
