the return to the land of Dante page 3 by ric gustafson
The elderly man pointed toward the dark grey water. " Here comes Charon and his boat".
A boat that looked like a tanker slowly pulled up to the concrete landing and quietly docked. An elderly man wearing black pants and black sunglasses tied some ropes to the landing. People were trying to get past a locked gate leading to the boat.
" Get back" Charon said as he swung a lead pipe at the crowd to get their attention. " Wait you damned souls until after I open the gate".
Aaron and the elderly man waited until most of the crowd had entered the boat.
" Hello Charon" the elderly man said with a grin.
" Well, if it isn't the old man from the Vestibule" replied Charon as he gave him a toothless smirk. He pointed his lead pipe at Aaron. " Who's your new friend?".
" This is Aaron" was his reply. " He's new here".
" Get on board".
