"It has been said before, but once you get in, you want to get the hell out. As I entered I was greeted by a faceless
person, just another empty soul. I looked up adn there were temptations above me. 'Who buys into this stuff?'
I look around, there are blasphemies on the wall. I can not bear to look or stand to be in there by that time, but I
walk on. The machines in hell are running, the system is working. I start to see others walking around.
From a distance they appear normal, but as I walk closer I can see their sufferering. The fire does not consume one
in a physical, literal way; the torment allegorical and the suffering is within. I know because I feel it the longer
I stay. Poor souls. I see lust, gluttony, idleness, greed, corruption here."
"Then I see a doorway and step in. There are curtains now, and I go through. What is this? I see clockwork,
the inner workings of hell. There are demons turning wheels, feeding coal to fire, hammering away. I have seen
the innards of hell. And then another portal opens in front of me. I step in, my curiosity will not let me turn
back."
"Now I am feeling sick. I am horrified at what I see. There is a stick with a cow's head impaled on it.
Further down is a pig's head, and then a sheep. This narrow hallway forces me to slide past the heads, and then facing
forward again there is a skeleton standing there. Startled, I run past it and soon after, there is a corpse on the floor.
It looks to me, and pleads for help, an exit from here. I am in a nightmare. If hell exists, then there must be
a Messiah, a savior, I reason to myself. Help me, please! I see the end of the hallway, with another begging carcass,
"help, water, anything." There is a door behind him, but I desperately want to help him. I know there is nothing
I can do for him. I hope to god that past the door is something better, but any place is better than here. I walk
past the corpse as he reaches for my ankles. I turn the knob and enter through...."
To be continued.
