Standing on the edge of the rocks,
the sea slaps the bases of them,
vibrating the fish,
that swim in and out of coral.
The clouds shift,
in front of the sun,
away, infront,
away infront,
casting shadows of long,
forgotten yesterdays,
in the water.
The winds whisper my name,
tormenting my every breath,
worthless,
you are a peice of nothing,
no one wants you,
they tell me.
I feel the presence,
of Hades's furies,
behind me,
there firey whips,
ready to strike,
my bare back.
With each lash,
of fire,
it burns my skin,
and I scream in pain,
crafting tormented echoes,
around the cape.
Hot, salty tears sting my eyes,
and the fall down my face.
I lean over the edge of the rock,
vomiting into the stormy surface.
As I lean over,
a tear falls into the water...
drip.
As it hit the surface,
the water becomes a firey red,
and swirling.
There is a cracking noise,
beneath me,
the rock is breaking away,
the ocean is sucking,
me under.
The world below the surface,
is cold,
a monochrome grey,
a blank nothing.
The water stops churning,
I open my eyes,
look around,
and see a sign,
that says...
Welcome to Hell
