Memos

Description: A message left in the flower shop on Sanders Street.

Ms. Cassandra,
a customer came in today. Ordered a mixed bouquet, red and white. I tried to explain it's bad luck, but he couldn't decide on just one. He seemed a bit off, looked at me like I wasn't even there. Then he just left, said he’d be back to pick'em up later. I just wanted to let you know, since I might be gone by then.

Description: A note found on Martin Street.

if you're reading this
leave
this place is not what it seems

sometimes
you just have to look behind

run away run away run away run away run away
run away run away run away run away run away
run away run away run away run away run away

Description: A note found on the counter of Neely's Bar.

I don't know what got into him. He just started smashing the thing. Had to throw him out. He ran off, cried he'd "fix everything".

I gathered up what I could, still haven't found one of the buttons. Half the record is still lodged inside, but the other part's missing. Figure he must've taken it. Come to think of it, he did run towards Groovy.

Anyway, maybe go check up on him? See if he's alright. He lives over at Saul, by the pharmacy. Apartment 9.

Description: A note left by one of the staff at Big Jay's cafe.

That man was here again. I told him he’d been warned not to come here. He acted like he didn’t know what I was talking about.

Anyway, he got up and left. He didn’t make any sort of fuss, but there’s something about him that gives me the creeps. When I look at his face, it’s like I’m staring at a mask. And there’s something underneath, waiting to get out.

I don’t want to be there when that happens.

Description: A note found in the record store I Love Groovy Music.

The janitor came in the other day, drunk and in tears. Had half a record with him, kept yelling we gotta fix it somehow.

I was willing to do it just to shut him up, so I got up to get the glue from the cabinet, but then he realized he only had the one half, so he ran out.

Can't do much about the record, maybe ask around at Neely's next time you're there - might be one of theirs.

pushing itself into my lungs

Description: A message left in the back room of Neely's Bar.

He came back after you left. It's fine, he didn't try anything. He just seemed sad.

Mumbled something about getting out of town with someone. I wasn't gonna let him drive in his condition, so I locked him out.

His car should be out back. Maybe check if it's still there by morning. It's the greenish-blue one, plate number ending with 06, I think.

Description: A letter found in one of the mailboxes in Wood Side Apartments.

Dear Madam,

In response to your complaint regarding the “gunshots” coming from apartment 217, we have paid a visit to the tenant and he assured us that he does not own any firearms. He was fully cooperative and granted us access to the apartment. True to his words, we did not find any weapons, or traces of using one.

Should the noises persist, please inform the janitor.

Sincerely,
Wood Side Apartments Administration

Description: A note found in one of the rooms of the Wood Side Apartments building.

I know there is something here, I know, I can feel it
It all looks normal, but it's not
It's underneath, pulsing, trying to get out
Is it trying to get out? Or should I get in?
I have to uncover it, rip it to the surface

Peel it off
layer by layer
so I can see it

I know it’s there

Description: A note found in Wood Side Apartments.

I was wrong wrong wrong
No I wasn’t, but I wasn’t entirely right
I need to peel off more

I was looking outside but
It is in me
There's someone inside me

I did not acquire it, nor will I be able to do so.
However, I can direct you to where it is.
You will find it in a place of care.

I warned you before, this is a commitment.
I hope you can see this now.

maybe there's hope for the FIVE of us

I wrote it down for you in a way you should finally be able to remember. Once you're in the lobby, just look around. Now remember:

Nurses. Doctors. Trees.

Description: A memo left for one of the nurses in Examination Room 3.

If the second were as high as the number of nurses, it’d still be one short. With two of them dead and one just a fraud.

The third would chop the firewood in half.

The first was singular.

Description: A staff memo mentioning a recent code change.

The code has been reset to what we agreed on during yesterday's meeting in the doctor's lounge.

Like I said, I don't want anyone writing it down on little pieces of paper for me to find. Be responsible, people.

PATIENT INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT

Annotation: the following interview was conducted with in response to incident #071.

I remember lying in water

they feed me garbage
and rotting meat
crawling with maggots
thick with sinew
they make me bite down
the juices, red and yellow
hit the back of my throat
I choke and I gag and I vomit
till my throat is sore
an aching throbbing tube of flesh
I push it all out but I can still taste it

they bathe me in filth
and blood and piss and bile
they gently rub human waste
all over my body
my skin itches
it peels off like wet paper
I beg them to stop
but they don’t listen

and then
they lock me up
with him
he’s always there
closer        each time
and the rot      it comes with him

it goes within
it becomes me

Description: A note found inside a safe in the Director's Office.

their images became blurry,
melting together
I could no longer tell

not sure if I can do it
but maybe you can

this will take you to where you need to be
though probably not the way you want to

and there's bound to be some pain involved
there always is

Description: Found on the rooftop of Brookhaven Hospital.

May 9
Rain.
Stared out the window all day.
Peaceful here — nothing to do.
Still not allowed to go outside.

May 10
Still raining.
Talked with the doctor a little.
Would they have saved me if I didn't have a family to feed?
I know I’m pathetic and weak. Not everyone can be strong.

May 11
Rain again.
The meds made me feel sick today.
If I’m only better when I’m drugged, then who am I anyway?

May 12
Rain as usual.
I don't want to cause any more trouble for anyone,
but I'm a bother either way.
Can it really be such a sin to run instead of fight?
Some people may say so, but they don't have to live in my shoes.
It may be selfish, but it's what I want.
It’s too hard like this. It's just too hard...

May 13
The doctor came in today.
He said that I’ll be released soon.
That it's time to go home.
I should be happy.
But I’m afraid. I’m so afraid.
It feels like something's about to happen.
Like the last gasp of air before the plunge.
But deep down, I know it’s too late to turn back.

oh, how we danced

pounding
piercing

silence

Description: A note found in the ECT room of Brookhaven Hospital.

I found 0050 in the ECT room again. This time I checked, he was not appointed for the treatment. How is it possible he got there all by himself? And how would he know how to turn the thing on?
Somebody's going to answer for this.

So close.
It will happen.
Has to

It is done.

Sick no more.

Description: A note written on a map. Found inside the Motor Home in South Vale.

He who is not bold enough
to be stared at from across
the abyss is not bold enough
to stare into it himself.

The truth can only be learned
by marching forward.

Follow the map.
There's a letter and a wrench.

Description: A letter found in South Vale. A mark on the map led me to its location.

Or perhaps you are a fool.
The truth usually betrays people.
You should know.
The key is in the park,
at the feet of the praying woman.
The wrench will open the gate.
The key will let loose the abyss.

Description: Found by the gun cabinet in Toluca Prison.

They still haven't found him.

Since he had the cabinet key, we should assume one of the prisoners got his hands on it.

Catch me if you can.

We could both use a bath.

Description: A letter supposedly given to Laura by Mary.

My dearest Laura.

I’m leaving this letter with Rachel to give to you after I’m gone. I’m far away now, in a quiet, beautiful place. Please forgive me for not saying goodbye before I left.

Be well, Laura. Don’t be too hard on the sisters. And Laura, about James... I know you hate him because you think he isn’t nice to me, but please give him a chance. It’s true he can be a little surly sometimes, and he doesn’t laugh much. But underneath he’s really a sweet person.

I love you, Laura. I love you like my very own daughter. I wish things were different. I wish we could be happy together, like we talked about.

Even so, I know you will have a good life. You’re a strong, smart, beautiful girl.

Happy eighth birthday, Laura.

Your friend,
Mary

Description: A note regarding one of the lost items in Lakeview Hotel.

Remember that strange book you found earlier?

Some very... odd-looking man came in a few hours back, claimed it belonged to him. Honestly, I didn't feel like arguing, I wanted to be through with him as soon as I could. So I gave it to him.

I’m not sure how he even knew it was here. I don't think he was ever a guest here.

I would've remembered.
