A
flash of red and mauve light as he appeared. A
horrible-looking face, a cracked yellow colour, so old and
so ugly, it hangs in great big folds, not just wrinkles.
His eyes are but slits. His thick lips drooling with
saliva. He seems to have no hair, just a few spiky bits of
non-descript grey.
But
it is his body too. Although human-like he is very
fat and has a bloated red-coloured body. It does not look
like natural fat, it looks all bloated with huge black
spots and warts and moles here and there. He was naked and
his testicles and penis are large and black.
"I am the Deliverer. You will come
with me, as you have called me to your temple. It is good
to be honoured. For this, I will show you what I do. I
deliver the souls to the great one you met earlier. I will
lead you along the path they have to take."
This
horrible being had a rope around my neck and dragged me
into waist high flames. He shortened the rope so I was
close by him, and it was then I discovered he also carried
a trident because he kept digging its sharp point into my
side as soon as I was pulled level with him.
There were flames all around and there
was something flying about our heads all the time, like a
big black beetle, but this was about the size of a medium
sized dog. It was a really unpleasant experience, him so
close, the rope, the sharp point in my side and this
creature flying at me all the time.
"This is the path all take that
have to be terminated," he kept saying as he dragged
me through a tunnel, well more like an enclosed space. I
couldn’t see much for the flames and the smell was
atrocious. I was struggling but it was useless and
eventually we reached the place I feared, the space where
everyone sits waiting their turn.
I thought, I’ve been here before
today, not again!
...The wide corridor. The screaming. The vast
row of people and, there in the distance a long way off, I
could see the Devourer.
Then
the being tugged the rope again and I was back, and just
his face was visible. "I give you the gift of courage
before I leave you."
Then he was gone.
