I thought this one was ...interesting. Not much of a fan of "hell is real" stories, or, for that matter "guy claims something unlikely and no one believes him until confirmation occurs from someone else seeing it" story structure, but the writing was solid, the reading was good and it finally won me over with the little line near the end of the stick man drifting down into the abyss. Nice visual. Worth hearing.
Thanks for listening
“Scarcely has night arrived to undeceive, unfurling her wings of crepe (wings drained even of the glimmer just now dying in the tree-tops); scarcely has the last glint still dancing on the burnished metal heights of the tall towers ceased to fade, like a still glowing coal in a spent brazier, which whitens gradually beneath the ashes, and soon is indistinguishable from the abandoned hearth, than a fearful murmur rises amongst them, their teeth chatter with despair and rage, they hasten and scatter in their dread, finding witches everywhere, and ghosts. It is night... and Hell will gape once more.
