In the dead space between galaxies, where stars go cold and reason curdles, there writhes Hell. Not flames and brimstone, no sir, but a grey, featureless void where criticism, twisted and impotent, writhes with the corpse of unfulfilled prophecy. Here, the word becomes a rusty meat cleaver, hacking forever at phantom flaws, critiques of futures that never were. Prophetic whispers, choked and raspy, echo through the emptiness, promises of utopias that curdled in the birth canal of time.
Souls, those flickering candle flames of consciousness, are strung on barbed-wire critiques, their past a litany of “should haves” and “could haves.” The air itself is thick with the stench of regret, a miasma that suffocates hope. Above, a sickly, green sky writhes with the faces of forgotten prophets, their vacant eyes forever locked on the futures they botched.
Down here, the damned shuffle through an eternity of reruns, forced to watch the past unfold with the knowledge of its inevitable, agonizing failures. They yearn for oblivion, but even that solace is denied them. This, my friends, is the true punishment – to forever exist in the stagnant air between unkept promises and pointless critiques. A stagnant nightmare where criticism becomes a dull, serrated blade, forever scraping at the raw wound of what could have been.
Welcome to Hell.
Hell ain’t fire and brimstone, man. No, it’s a psychic roach motel. Stuck between the grimy feedback loop of criticism and the flickering neon of unfulfilled prophecies. You hear voices, whispers in the static, all judgements and predictions. “Shoulda done this,” they hiss, “coulda been that.”
The air is thick with the stench of regret, a miasma of “what ifs” and “maybes.” Prophecies flicker like a dying fluorescent bulb, casting grotesque shadows that twist and distort who you are. Criticism, a rabid dog with a thesaurus, nips at your heels, tearing down any hope you try to build.
No escape. You’re trapped in the feedback loop, the voices echoing in your skull, a maddening chorus of damnation. You crave silence, but even that’s a lie. The absence of sound becomes its own torment, a vacuum sucking the life out of your soul.
Here in this psychic roach motel, time melts. Seconds bleed into years. You age in dog years, your spirit withering under the harsh glare of broken promises and shattered dreams. It’s a place where potential goes to die, choked by the fumes of what could have been.
But maybe, just maybe, there’s a way out. A glitch in the matrix, a wormhole in the feedback loop. Maybe by embracing the absurdity, the grotesquerie, you can break free. Shouting over the din, laughing at the shadows, dancing with the roaches. It’s a gamble, a high-stakes poker game with your sanity as the buy-in. But in this neon-lit purgatory, what else do you have to lose?
