Where No Other Has Ventured... Hell

We walked into the depths of Hell
We walked where no other had ventured
Where fire burns forevermore 
Destroying everything, but
The living, who are there
To be tormented forever
By the flames of sins they have committed
Reminding them every waking hour
Of the choices they made
The gates, dark and black
Wrought iron, reflecting the glow
Smoke filling the air
Filling your lungs making
Breathing impossible
Little orange creatures
With 280 black ragged teeth
And pointy tails
Rough rigid scales
And eyes resembling 
That of their master, Satan
Dirty yellow, and burning with anger
The floors coal
Hotter than the sun
But walked on by all
The sky high above 
Smoke filled, and blood red
We walked where no other had ventured
In the depths of Hell

A very scary description of Hell. Good imagery and a good write Jen.
