the return to the land of Dante page 7 by ric gustafson
Aaron and the elderly man stepped down from the last stone step unto a stone sidewalk. Aaron saw a large tower made out of rock. They began walking toward it.
" Old man, who is Minos?".
" Dante wrote that he was a lawgiver of Crete and then when he died he was appointed to judge the dead".
The two men joined countless others as they slowly walked toward the entrance to the tower.
Aaron noticed a large funnel shaped hole that went for miles. They walked through dark chambers and then into a great hall. It was then that Aaron saw the creature. He had white skin, sunken cheeks and murky eyes.
A man walked up to him.
Minos sneered. " Gluttony, greed and heresy". He laughed as he picked up the man and threw him out the door into the large hole.
Aaron heard a scream.
" Who are you?" he screamed as he pointed at me. Then he noticed the old man. " I see that you are here with another one old man". " Get out of my sight!".
They left the tower and began to walk down another dark tunnel.
" Where are we going now?".
" The circle appointed for the lascivious".
