I thought it was more of a knife whip at first, but there'd be no way to pull it back for a swing without stabbing yourself.
...Not that rational thoughts of practicality had much impact on the creation of that thing, of course, but I'm sure she'd have tried swinging it at least once.
"It amazes me that these deputies were able to take her into custody without anyone being injured, [aside from her]" Sheriff Al Nienhuis said. "It shows the level of their restraint and professionalism under very difficult and dangerous conditions."
Maybe the Smile Room is pretty rad! You shouldn't judge a room by the stygian darkness that seems to pulsate within it, as if breathing, nor should you judge it by the strange metallic smell that seems to ignite the animal panic in the deepest memories of your primitive brain.
Yeah!
Everyone freaked out about unfreezing that weird looking corpse in Antartica back in '38, and look how that turned out.
I thought I should mention that I first thought you were talking about Captain America, but then I remembered The Thing.
I can see the confusion, since most people are more familiar with the '82 movie than the original short story.
It is a good story especially if you like old short form science fiction. Google "Who Goes There", if you're curious about it.
Interesting note? In it, there is a guy named MacReady. He's a meteorologist.
I'd blame it on the combination of not being able to see it's eyes and the black lines coming from the sockets. That combo is pretty effective visual shorthand for spookiness.

to be fair her whip is self aware.

Yesterday I had a poorly timed psychic moment*, at work. While out on patrol in the noisy plant, I get a call from one of the workers. I couldn't tell what they were saying, but could at least recognize I needed to be back in the guard shed for what they needed. I told them to call back in five minutes, they agreed, we hung up. At that moment, I had the notion that he wouldn't call until about half an hour later, when I give up and go on patrol again.
Sure enough, half an hour later I'm back in the plant, starting my route and very nearly the exact spot I was before, he called back.
Spooooopy!
*poorly timed, because I'd rather it happened when I was buying lotto tickets.
I got a really nasty migraine today, and went home feeling awful
I got some Chinese food for dinner and ate it
Being something of a hypochondriac, I was sort of panicking, because what if this isn't a migraine and I'm actually about to have a seizure and die etc. standard silly hypochondriac stuff.
So I decide to distract myself by opening the fortune cookie. Fortune cookies are the best! I have loved fortune cookies since childhood.
Fortune: "every day above ground is a good one."
Feeling slightly unnerved, I flip it over to the "learn Chinese" word
Which is tóu tòng- "headache".
I'm not superstitious at all, but I'm feeling a bit uneasy. I remember a superstition BugBoy and I had as kids: the fortune would only come true if our lucky number, 12, was one of the ones on the fortune.
So I look at the lucky numbers: 16, 31, 26, 12
I don't like fortune cookies anymore.

Man I never get good saying like that. All I get is stuff like, "Sometimes the sky is blue."

Why not? That cookie was saying you were going to be ok.

Really?
My husband keeps a fortune in his wallet, from a cookie he opened just before he left for his new duty station at the Korean DMZ. "No man is without enemies."
Before following any advice, opinions, or thoughts I may have expressed in the above post, be warned: I found Keven Costners "Waterworld" to be a very entertaining film.

The worst car crash I ever had was quite a while ago, I was driving my parents ute home from work late one afternoon, not really paying attention (too busy fucking about with the radio) as I came to a left-hand bend in the road I'd driven literally hundreds of times before, well this time there was a bunch of gravel on the road surface in the middle of the corner. Because I wasn't paying enough attention and was startled when the ute started to slip and oversteer on the loose surface, I overcorrected and the ute whipped back the other way and I slid off the road backwards, where the ute hit a berm of dirt sideways and rolled onto the roof before smashing into a tree stump to stop. The roof of the ute was pushed almost all the way up from the back of the passenger compartment to the front by the tree stump, the chassis was twisted, the vehicle was a total write off. I'm really very lucky that I didn't die, it was a suprisingly violent accident for the (totally legal) speed I was doing and the road conditions (both sides of the road are lined with trees, when the ute snapped hard right from the over-correction, the rear end actually swung out into the dirt and gravel on the left hand side of the road and smashed down a small tree with a trunk approximately 4-5 inches in diameter).
I got a pretty decent smack on the back of the head from a tyre iron that had been sitting in the rear passenger footwell (always secure your payload/luggage/lunchbox and thermos!) but thankfully nothing more than a bump on my head came of that.
The place where I came to a stop was literally at the base of a very large tree. With a cross and a memorial plaque to a young girl that had died in a car accident in that very location screwed to it.
Sitting at the base of the tree was a fortune cookie fortune that must have been floating around on the floor of the ute for many years (my eldest sister used to work in a Chinese restaurant and takeaway a few years before the accident). I came across it as I was picking up all the random bits of rubbish that had been flung from the inside of the ute during the accident, so I picked it up and read it.

I interpreted it as sort of a "value the time you have, because you'll be gone soon" thing
Now I'm imagining some kind of dare or initiation where you have to walk as far down that tunnel as you can without a flashlight and when you've taken 200 steps or whatever arbitrary number then everyone else turns on their lights so you can see your surroundings.

No lights, no wires, no pipes, and water damage on the stone floor is telling me it's probably a drainage tunnel.
Maybe that seems anti-climactic, but that means it's more likely to have actually housed a dead body at some point.

I like your version better, though

It turns out Silent Hills would have been the ultimate gathering of the greatest horror visionaries.
The true horror is that they gathered under Konami's umbrella.
Next you'll tell me they had David Lynch on board for cutscene direction.
