I will judge you. Your blood shall flow, throughout the land. For I have spoken.

Ezekiel, chapter 21: 35-37

Samuel Lemarchand looks at his screen while writing his first book: A look in the Inferno. It was the crown on his work. All the research he had done over the years, was united in this one book of 9th chapters. The first 8th chapters were already finished and describes the several aspects of Hell's order. In Chapter 1: The Ancient Gates, he tells about the rituals used to access Hell before Philip Lemarchand made his mysterious boxes. Showing how the history of hell is as ancient as men himself and can be found in every culture. Chapter 2: History of the Toymaker, the story of Philip Lemarchand. Chapter 3: Vessels of Pleasure and Pain, is a description of the boxes created by Lemarchand, with images of these boxes. Chapter 4: Children of Hell, a description of the known cenobites and a reconstruction of their origin. This was the hardest chapter to make. He had do many interviews, many research in old books about people who disappeared mysteriously as strange boxes were found on the place they were last seen and the cenobites who started to appear since then. Chapter 5: Hell Unbound, the story of the unbound Pinhead. The Chapter was based on the interviews of Joey Summerskil. Chapter 6: The Hellish Arts, this was one of his favorite chapters: the rituals used to tap in the power of the cenobites and the consequences these actions could have. Chapter 7: The Dark Artifacts, a list of legendary items that are connected to Hell. Chapter 8: The City of Midian, describing the agents of chaos who opposes the Cenobites

At the moment he's writing the 9th and final chapter: Escape the madness of the labyrinth.

Over the years some people have been able to escape Hell and his legions. One of the most famous escapees is surely the Russian Monk, Grigori Jetfimovitsj Novitsj, better known as Rasputin. Together with a 25 years old Aleister Crowley, he researched the myth of Philip Lemarchand and the hedonic boxes crafted by his hands. In May of 1901, Rasputin succeeded to recover one of these puzzles. The box is known as The Permutations of the Labyrinth, made between 1777 and 1799. An exact date remains unknown (For more information, see Chapter 3: Vessels of Pleasure and Pain.) Given to him by general Aleksey Petrovich Yermolov. The general retrieved it from a French military under the servitude of Napoleon. Rasputin opened the box and three Cenobites appeared before him. Using his persuasion talents, he was able to convince the Cenobites to take someone else in his place. He promised them to give them a more suitable candidate. He kept his promise. Three days later, he summoned the eager Cenobites again and gave them Alkesander Prigov. Alkesander was a infamous child killer and more than happy to join the forces of Hell, with the promise to become immortal. Rasputin would later write a letter to Aleister Crowley: "Don't open the box, Crowley and stop your search to them. I've opened the infamous Permutations of the Labyrinth and witnesses it horrors. Humanoid creatures mutilated beyond comprehension. I escaped their sadistic desires. Tricked a monster to take my place at their side. With joy, he offered himself to the gash that came to claim. His laughter quickly turned into screams as the Cenobites granted his wish for immortality. For eternity he will wander the dark labyrinth, hunting those who got lost in it. His screams will never leave my mind. Crowley, there are mysteries that would be remain unsolved..."

Further in this chapter he tells about several men and women who were able to escape between 1900 and 1990. Some you probably never heard off but others a quit famous or infamous... Maybe the most infamous one of these escapees is doctor Josef Mengele who opened the box in the 1942 and stroke a deal with the cenobites. He promised them to give them souls on regular times to save his own soul. As his paranoia and fear for them grew, as so did his savageness. The victims of this deal were the ones who were brought into Auschwitz. His obsession for twins should have come from the Wire Twins plagues in his nightmare.

More recent victims who managed to escape the gashes of hell were Kristy Cotton, her uncle Frank and her stepmother Julia Cotton and Joey Summerskill. Kristy Cotton is only known person who escaped Hell's forces 3 times. Her story begins in United Kingdom, 1992. At the age of 16 years, her uncle disappears after opened the Lament Configuration, the first box ever created. After her father dropped blood in the attic, where her uncle opened the box, Frank used the blood to rebuild his body. This would be later stated by Kristy. In order to escape hell and return to world of the living, he needed the blood of many innocent victims. He and his sister-in-law Julia Cotton, as she was his old paramour, killed several many men who were seduced by Julia. By accident, Kristy discovered both the return of her uncle and the wicked box he used to explore Hell's idea of pleasure. Later, in the hospital she opened the box and summoned the Cenobites who also took her nihilistic uncle. The Cenobites known as Pinhead( Xipe Totec), the Sinned Sister, Butterball and Chatterer. She managed to convince them to let her go in exchange for information. She told the leader that Frank escaped their order and promised them to render him up as they let her go. They agreed. Later, after Frank killed his brother and her father, she managed to reopen it in his presence. As promised, they took Frank back with them to hell. But they didn't keep their promise of letting her go. Kristy was able to solve for the third time the box before they can take her with them.

Unlucky for her, she was interned in the Channard Institute. The head doctor was Dr. Channard and was very interested in her story. Unknown for her, Dr. Phillip Channard was obsessed by Hell after his brother was taken by the forces of hell. Channard used an autistic girl I only will refer to by her first name: Tiffany and Julia Cotton, who was brought back from in a similar way, her lover did a few months before. Tiffany solved the Lament Configuration but missing the desire or curiosity and only opening it because of her OCD, the Cenobites didn't lay claims on her soul, simply taken to hell as bait for they have notice the presence of Kristy. Channard was able to go to hell without being confronted by these hellish creatures, with the help of Julia. Channard somehow being a cenobite himself, details about this transformation remain unknown. As Kristy travelled down the dungeons of Hell, in search for both her father and Tiffany, the Cenobites who laid claims on HER soul encountered her. Again she was able to escape the creatures, this time not by revealing the identity of one who escaped them but of someone who was taken by Hell. She showed them a picture of Eliot Spencer, the pre-Cenobitian Pinhead. Pinhead and his gash started to remember their past and got unbound. (For more information about this subject, read Chapter 5: Hell Unbound). They sacrificed themselves in order to give the girls a change to escape the wicked labyrinth. They witnesses how Channard was executed when Leviathan turned in his 'solved' form as later would be described by the escaped victims. She hoped that it was her final encounter but her future husband Trevor Goodman had other plans. In 2002, her relationship with Trevor could be best described as disturbing. Trevor's greed drove him to a plan to gain her inherited fortune. He gave her the Lament Configuration. As revenge, she stroke a deal with Pinhead. He would let go forever and she would give him 5 souls. Trevor's soul was one of them... (My last interview with Miss Cotton was on May 31th, 2010. Most of this paragraph is based only on her interviews. She committed suicide on March 3th, 2011.)

A second girl escaped the cenobites in recent history. A girl named Joanne Summerkill discovers the existence of these boxes when she witnesses the dead of Bradley Hyland in 1993, in North Carolina. Brad's death was caused by the chains of hell. Later that week, she came in possession of the Lament Configuration in a night club, named the Boiler Room. She found it in the Boiler Room, after an unbound Pinhead massacred all the club-goers. This unbound malevolence was freed by J.P. Monroe from his prison, the Pillar of Souls. (For more information about this subject, read Chapter 7: The Dark Artifacts). She escaped him with the only weapon that could stop him, the Lament Configuration. Causing even more havoc, using Pseudo-cenobites, he and his new minions surrounded her on a construction site. She was able to send them back to hell, only to discover this was a mere illusion of the fiend. He invaded her mind and used her emotions in an attempt to pilfer the box from her. But with the help of Eliot Spencer, she was able to survive their encounter.

(This coming fragment is based on a videotape from the crime scene and the articles.) In 2005, an American reporter Amy Klein discovered a cult named the Deaders who tapped in the powers of Hell (For more information about this subject, read Chapter 6: The Hellish Arts) As many have fallen to this mysterious cult, the cenobites found the order of Hell threatened for as they claimed souls that were meant for Hell. As Amy Klein accidentally joined the group, the Cenobites have lain claims on her soul too. She escapes them by committing suicide. With no more souls to take they had no other choice than to return to their realm. She's also the last recorded victim of who escaped them.

Many would claim he had forgotten the tale of Emma Craven but hoaxes didn't count. He had investigated her story and came to conclusion she was lying for personal gain, using the stories of the Cenobites. Her brother and several family members would be have been killed by the cenobites. But there were many plotholes. If the she really opened the box and her sexual desires were really so in line with the cenobites, she should have been claimed. Her description of the cenobites and the psuedo-cenobites and the claims made by the cenobites were ambitious but also proven her lack of knowledge about Hell's Rules. Second, in Hell they have no 'Facebook'!

He stands up and looks at the clock. He walks to the door and go check his mailbox. A newspaper and mysterious package. He watches at the front page of the newspaper and nods resignedly. The final of his colleagues of the Hell on Earth Project was dead.
