The Realm Of The Dead | Hell

Submitted to Contest #92

Revelation 21:8….the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murders, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars---they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. I would venture to say that people have pondered the afterlife and hoped that they would not have to endure crossing the gates of hell.

Some Heroes Don’t Wear Capes

Submitted to Contest #84

A harsh reality penetrated my path, leaving me dangling by a thread, nearly free-falling to an instant death. My drinking had bypassed the every-so-often escape from reality, erupting into an endless need for the drink. Alongside alcohol, drugs tore a hole in my soul, altering my mindset to a state of being that one cannot imagine; I felt utterly wrecked:  I was at my stepdad Fred's house: I had accumulated a sizable amount of doctor-prescribed medications over the previous few months.
