WELCOME TO HELL...
Zeno peeked, spreading his fingers. Through them he saw Satan, not a don now
in human robes, but a gigantic fiery-eyed thing with horn and tail, beset by a
great serpent and by winged docks with spear-like arms. He saw chariots with
wheels of flame and mushroom clouds on which they rode. He saw creation and
dissolution. He saw the sun swallow up me sky. He saw the earth charred to a
cinder, deep within the corona of that sun. And he saw a cloud of gas in which
angels darted-hundreds, thousands, wing brushing wing as they worked. He saw a
huge ball forming in me midst of pregnant gasses. And around all of this wound
the serpent, and in the serpent's coil die Devil toiled.
And in the Devil's arms Michael was cradled, fangs bared at a hungry sky as me
serpent's wide-spread jaws came closer-jaws mat contained an entire universe
within the maw they circumscribed.
Zeno's fingers dosed of their own accord, shutting out the awful sight.
