Elevator to Hell
I sat quietly at the table. The room was full of talking and laughter. People we sitting next to me and around me, but I took no notice of them. My mind wandered, thinking about life, and what did it all mean? I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to find a man, dressed in an all black suit, very sharp, nice hair cut, white shirt, black tie. He saw the look of confusion on my face and said, "Hello ma'am." I thought to myself, "who is this guy and what does he want?" He continued saying, "I am here to offer you a very special experience that will change your life forever. I have the key to hell, and I will give you a tour. Don't worry, you will be safe, as there is an elevator that goes from top to bottom. You will be able to see everything, but no harm will come to you. Would you like this opportunity?" "Yes," I exclaimed! As I stepped into the elevator, fear came over me. What would I see, and who would I see? The elevator began to move. I could not believe my eyes. I saw spirits, just like you would expect to see, transparent strings of light with faces. Thousands of spirits circled me. Their faces, expressed agony and their screams made my hair stand on end. It became darker, and harder to see. From the dark came monsters, creatures, and abominations so terrifying. Some had wings, that looked like bats, but with human faces. Skeletons of animals and mixtures of creatures like I had never seen before. Some looked like lions, but with burnt bodies and flesh falling off of them. The further down I went, the more terrifying the monsters. Giant teeth that looked like they could snap you in half, claws that looked like daggers, skin and bones, scales, and heights that were twenty times larger than me. Fire surrounded everything, but no light accompanied the flames. As I continued down, I saw that I was approaching the end. The creatures around me began to be smaller, and smaller, and became more like bugs and insects, slug like creatures that oozed along the walls. It seemed to me that the further down I went, the more evil the creatures became. I wondered what would I find at the bottom? Darkness surrounded me, the air was stale, and fear took hold of me. It was desolate, not a creature in site. As the elevator stopped, and began to ascend back up, Lucifer appeared in the elevator with me! The appearance startled me, and I nearly had a heart attack. To my shock, Lucifer was a woman! Her appearance at firsts was as a beautiful angel that lit up the whole elevator. She had beautiful blond hair, a perfect body, and a face that mesmerized me. Then, in a flash, her form changed to a hideous creature with pointy ears, green rough skin, and teeth bigger than her mouth. Her hair remained the same, but her entire body transformed to a gross looking troll. She then changed into a spirit, and flew right through me. Just then, the elevator rushed to the surface. I stepped out of the elevator, paralyzed with fear, I just stood there. Lies, all lies. I never imagined Lucifer was a woman. Hell was no place I wanted to go. What would I do? What should I think? If this is hell, what is heaven?
