The Depth's

flames fume in the dark. half formed shadows come out. Where chains ensnare frail Lonely withering nude bodies wailing as their skins strip and bones snap. pouring their blood in the billowing smoke. (never stopping,this is forever after all)

a glowing yellow light transparently drops a young woman dressed in a nightie. shrieking tears at this nightmare.

"Beth?" whimpers behind her.

her eyes widen facing whats left of a corpse."Arron!" clawing behind. a demons jaws devour his legs.

"Leave him alone!" Beth lunges at the beast. But falls through the other side.

Arron crack."i thought it was a myth!i did!i did!"

Slither snickers erupts a high forming giant of fire. Beth back ups petrified.

"Well," the devil said. "What brings you here?"

"I...I..."

"Spit it out!"

"i don't know."

"nevertheless, its a shame your not mine." the devils hands linger almost seeming to stroke her. "I can show you a good time." Beth spits on his foot. A snarl growl before calming. "Still its not often I get the chance to gloat to the living. Especially for the souls they lost. " the devouring demon howl away as Arron levitates. The devil walks with him.

Beth follows. "What are you doing?"

"Why its time to send your friend to the furnaces."

"You cant!"

"This is my domain and you have the audacity to command me!" the devil snides on. They pass the chutes.

"hide Beth hide." Arron said.

"bu I."Towers of flames bristle their approach.

"Tell me," the devil said. "do you know why you fail to save your friend?"

"Please..." she sputter.

"i was there." Aaron said. "she talk but I didn't listen."

"then its her fault." the devil said

"N..." Arron interjects

the devil shook him. "blame her. Curse her. Snarl and sneer her and I'll ease you're suffering."

Arron say no. "A Pity. I enjoy seeing the living break." he chuck him in the flames

Beth's eyes open in bed. huddling in her sheets."No one should lose their soul."
