FREE ESSAY ON JOURNEY TO HELL

JOURNEY TO HELL

awoke in a daze. Everything beyond the end of my nose was a total blur. I shook my head to
clear my vision. An object began to focus less than ten yards away. The silhouette was
almost like a person but too beastly to be human. Do my eyes deceive me? What is this
place? Where am I? What's going on? 
You are in hell, because you have sinned, a voice boomed out of nowhere. Who was this
person and what is he talking about? He continued, you were murdered a few hours ago.
Look at yourself, you're covered in blood. See the bullet holes? I looked down and tried
to scream only in vain because I had lost my voice. Don't worry about your voice, Minos
boomed, it'll be back in good time. But until then I need to find a suitable punishment
for you. I need not go into why I was in hell because I know why I'm here and that's all
that matters. Well, while I'm thinking I'll let you experience two different levels of
hell. You will have twenty-four hours to wander free and at the end of that time you will
be sentenced. Well I didn't see myself having any other viable options. So I nodded my
head, and Minos directed me towards a series of doors. 
All of these doors were unique in their own way. I saw some that were well decorated and
others that looked like they came from the bottom of hell. But one door stood out over
all the others. It appeared to be a set of elevator doors. This intrigued me most
immensely. So I approached them with a bit of caution. I pushed the down button, as there
was no up button. I assumed that this would be standard seeing as how I am in hell and I
don't imagine that I'm going up from here. Immediately the elevator doors opened. I heard
the sound of wandering music pouring from the elevator doors and I stepped in. The music
was soothing at first then all of a sudden I hear another deep voice going .... down?
This scared me, seconds later the floor beneath my feet disappeared. I began a free fall.
As I was falling all of a sudden I began to scream. My voice was back!
Splash! I landed in a huge pool of a gruesome liquid. It was thick, and was in it up past
my knees and my entire body was soaked . I picked my hand up and after close analysis
realized it was a huge pool of blood that I was laying in. I looked around and this whole
place seemed so desolate. I thought I could see some light on the horizon. So I headed
towards this place. As I walked the temperature grew colder and colder. I began to shiver
and I could see my breath. I could feel my muscles beginning to atrophy. I finally saw a
group of people. As I got there I fell into their arms. I looked around and I saw several
familiar faces. I recognized two of them distinctly. One was the leader of the Heaven's
Gate cult, and the other was Charles Manson. 
I asked Charlie, what's going on here? Who is in this level of hell?
This level is full of sociopaths, such as David Koresh and Jim Jones and we have Ted
Kazinski and all people of that sort, explained Charlie.
Wow what are all those people doing here? I exclaimed.
Well in this level of hell, he explained, we are forced to wade through pools of the
blood of all the people we killed. And eventually this place will fill up and we will
perpetually drown in pools of blood. Every 100,000 years all the blood is drained and we
start over.
Eeek, I don't like the sounds of that. Well do any of you interact socially with each
other on this level, I enquired.
No actually we try not to socially interact as much as possible because we have such
differing beliefs that we would try and kill each other, he replied.
Can you actually kill someone who is already dead? It seems like that would make you a
worse person and then you would need to go lower into hell, I said inquisitively.
Well if we kill one another our own blood gets added to the vat and we only begin pain
and suffering even sooner, Charlie answered.
This doesn't sound like a place I would like to hang around for very long, I stated. So I
decided that it was time to switch levels and my twelve hours on this level were almost
over. Immediately as soon as the twelve hours ended I was back at the doors again, to
chose another fate. This time I decided that I didn't want a fancy door but I wanted a
door that looked old and aged. So i found the worst looking door of the bunch. Then I
creaked it open. All I could see was a long flight of winding stairs. So i began the
descent. As soon as I took four or five steps I twisted my ankle and began to fall. I
must have rolled for the equivalence of eight flights of stairs. As I stood up I felt a
shooting pain in my ankles. I saw a man a few flights down. And I hollered to him.
Excuse me sir can you help me? I've fallen down and I think I may have broken my ankle, I
tried to explain through clenched teeth.
Haha. That's just the beginning of what you'll experience on this level of hell, said the
man as he approached me on the stairs.
Wait you mean this is the level? I demanded to know.
Yeah the perpetual stair case. Go up it takes you no where, go down it takes you no
where, explained the man.
What a second who are you? I asked the man as he stepped out of the shadows into the
light.
Don't you recognize me? It's the richest man in the world Bill Gates. This level is full
of gluttons, explained the slightly overweight looking Gates.
Oh my god you're Bill Gates. I didn't recognize you with the little beer belly you've
gotten. So what are the punishments you've gotten in this level? I wondered.
Well this level is tiring on the ankles cause they make you fat and then make you
exercise a lot. My ankles get broken several times a month causing severe pain when ever
I walked,  said Bill, as he proceeded to come closer he once again twisted his ankle and
screamed in agony. He began to leave ignoring the fact that I even exist. He left me to
my own methods of transportation. As I began to crawl down the stairs I felt a swift kick
from behind. It was Minos. He had decided on my fate. Im not sure if it was fortunate or
not for me but I was going to a whole other level. I guess that will be for me to know
and you never to find out!
