There are dozens more of their kind with feathered wings stretching outwards, all just as naked as me. Despite them taking notice of my arrival, I feel rather safe and welcome with no doubt in my mind. After hovering over those who look on from afar, I am brought before a single shaft of light. Its form is constantly changing, never keeping one shape for too long. I raise my hands to reach out and try to grab it while basking in its comforting warmth. As I inhale to speak, the world unexpectedly begins to shift.

Streaks of lightning flash across the sky as the once bright clouds turn an intimidating shade of grey with rolling thunder heard in the distance. I suddenly begin falling, and all I attempt to grab simply slips through my fingers. The elegant beings that once took me in have long since abandoned me. Now below me is the eye of a swirling storm. While descending, I am able to see flames at the storm’s center come dangerously close to my flailing body.

From this frightening place, I can also hear the tortured screams of the damned. Each cry for help speaks to me through a beguiling language. They willingly share much of their unrelenting torment. At my speed of descent, I ungracefully dive into a sea of crimson red and swim to dry land, knowingly drawing closer to those very screams.

I look up to find myself surrounded by walls made of rotting flesh, held in place by bones from gutted corpses. Within these walls are strong cages made from contorted bodies. Desperate people are kept like livestock, their hands reaching out from between holes in their cages as they beg for release. From afar, I can hear heavy footsteps that punctuate nightmarish shrieks of pain.

I drag myself to an isolated corner to watch the coming carnival of carnal impulses sweep over massive beasts with dark red flesh pulled taut over muscular frames. Their hulking bodies intertwine with those in captivity as large throbbing appendages penetrate and ravage the unwilling. I draw back in horror, placing my hands over my ears while looking away. However, I can still overhear the howls of depravity as merciless creatures violate defenseless victims.

My trembling body betrays me, attracting their attention. Fiendish creatures easily pull me towards their violent orgy, forcing me to join the collective. Without any warning I am held in place as sweat covered bodies recklessly collide with mine. Rhythmically undulating members begin draining strength from me. Their rough treatment is slowly becoming addictive, and I am left to perish for my past transgressions.
