the return to the land of Dante page 1 by ric gustafson
Aaron landed on his feet and then stood up. He slapped at something in the dark and he heard it fly into a nearby damp cold wall. He walked over and stared at the giant flying insect. It looked like a cockroach he had seen at the zoo. He slowly walked in the darkness toward an open doorway. He peeked in to see an elderly man snoring in a burgundy oversized sofa chair. " Ouch" he said loudly as he slapped another insect that had just bitten his left arm.
The elderly man woke up and smiled at Aaron. " Hello there".
" Where am I?".
" Where do you think you are?".
Aaron shook his head in frustration. " I jumped into a hole to escape some attackers".
" You must of jumped into a portal leading to this Vestibule".
" Vestibule?". Aaron watched as an elderly woman walked into the room and turned on an old rusted TV that was in a far corner. " Who is that?".
" A neutral and you are in the Vestibule of Hell".
" What's a neutral?".
The elderly man grinned at Aaron. " Someone who lived a lukewarm life". " They were not hot or cold".
He watched as worms and flying cockroaches covered the old woman's body. " These lukewarm people live in this Vestibule".
" Yes, this outer circle of Hell is their home now".
