A man is walking across a field of cold glass, and sees a long road ahead of him. The road looks more like a dark abyss, ready to engulf his soul, and ruin his consciousness. He looks into the abyss and sees a reflection of himself, and his reflection is filled with rage, anger, and discontent. He sees who he is, and what he will become in the future, and it is a bleak, dark, and damp work of hopelessness and despair. He walks toward his reflection and says, "What are you?" The reflection looks back and says, "I'am you in both this life and another life." The Man replies, "What do you mean? Are you my future?" The reflection replies, "I'am you in this life. This is who you are and you can't ignore it. You are full of hate, envy, slander, and wrath. You are also unforgiving and full of despair."
The Man looks at his reflection in shock and wonders if this is true. He looks away from his reflection and thinks about his past. He wonders if he has ever committed such an evil act that would put him in this state of madness. Then he realizes that while he has committed sinful acts, he's never done anything that would make him contemplate suicide. But this reflection is him, and even though he might be from a different life, it is still him. After these thoughts past through him, he looks at the abyss and turns his attention to his reflection and yells, "You are the devil!" His reflection stays calm and crosses his arms to hear the Man state his case. The Man continues to yell, "You might look like me, you might sound like me, you might even have my live, but you are nothing like me!"
The Man is out of breath and tries to calm himself down. He looks up into the red sky and searches for his savior. But he couldn't find him, and realizes that he is on his own. God was not there.
The cold, and suffocating darkness is endless to the very depth of his soul. He sees his own reflection laughing at him, and says, "You are a pathetic fool, and you can't ignore the truth that this is who you are, and can't escape the evilness that is within you." The Man is still looking into the red sky, search for God, looking for an answer. But he still wasn't there, and the Man started to accept the fact that he is alone. Until he saw her, a poor woman, trapped in this cruel reality. He saw her beautiful black eyes, and gorgeous dread locks, and saw the tears streaming down her face. She is on her knees, praying to God for help. The Man yells, "Who are you? How did you get here?" The woman was startled, she looks up, and asks, "Did God send you to protect me? Are you an angel?" The Man replies, "No, I'am not an angel, but I'm willing to help you! I can see that you're in a lot of pain, and that you have been suffering as much as I have!"
Sorrow looked at the mans face and saw that he was sincere, that while he was not an Angel, he wasn't a Demon either. She saw something good within the mans soul, she saw something honest and pure. So she ran towards him for safety.
As she was running, she saw his reflection. The reflection is a bleak, endless abyss that is filled with anger, wrath, and lust. She doesn't understand how she knows this, but at that moment she was afraid and stopped running. Sorrow was perplexed, confused. She knew she was in hell, so she didn't know who to trust.
The Man looked at her and said, "Don't look at him. That's not me. It's something else, but it is not me. It looks like me, it sounds like me, and it might have my life, but it is not me!" Sorrow yelled, "I know, I know! Don't worry, I think I can trust you. I'm just so afraid, because he looks like you. You have to get away from him, he has to be a demon!"
Suddenly, there was a gust of wind that spread all over his reflection. And his reflection looked disturbed for he realized that could not speak. The Wind closed the reflections mouth, and the reflection starts to change into his true form. He was not a reflection at all, but an actual demon who was not only keeping Sorrow from leaving this dark road towards an endless abyss, but to capture the Man and trap him for eternity.
The Wind continued to blow, and it showed that there was more to the Abyss then just the road. There was a huge land of blood that surrounded the road. The blood looked like an ocean, with people dying and suffering within it. It sparked flames of fire every second. It was at this moment, the Man realized that both he and Sorrow were in Hell.
He yelled to Sorrow, "Get next to me, I'll try to protect you for as long as I can. But I have no weapons, no armor, no sword, and God is not here. I heard you praying, he probably hasn't answered your prayers as well. So I can only protect you for so long!"
Sorrow ran towards him, seeing all of the pain and suffering all around her, she grabs onto his right hand, clenched it hard, and silently prayed to God for help.
The Man wanted to scream at her and tell her that God wasn't there to help. Meanwhile, what use to be a reflection, had now become evil incarnate. It was at least 10 feet tall, with 3 heads, 3 arms, and 4 legs.
It's eyes had a red light within them, and it's breath smelled like a furnace. It finally dawned on the Man that this was it. He and Sorrow are stuck, stuck in Hell, stuck in darkness, the endless abyss.
Sorrow closed her eyes, praying to God, holding the Man's hand, with tears streaming down her face.
And as the Demon was about to kill them both, the wind came and created a roaring thunder that could be heard throughout Hell. Every creature was startled, even the Demon. Then more thunder came, Hell started to shank, and the Red Sky opened up with a large ray of light that blinded all the creatures, and people, including the Demon.
The only ones who could see all of this happening was both the Man and Sorrow. They saw every creature screaming, and the people in the sea of a blood filled land unable to move, and see. Then suddenly, the light revealed to them a Rock and a Sword inside of it.
The Man and Sorrow looked at the Rock with the Sword, looked at each other, and then looked at the Rock. The light then shined on the both of them, but it didn't blind them. And they heard a voice say, "Go to the Rock, pick up the Sword, and strike the Demon!" The Man replied, "God, is that you? Please answer." And God said, "Yes, it is I! Now pick up the Sword, and I shall purify this world forever. With it's destruction, I will create a paradise for both you and Sorrow!"
Then the light went away, the creatures and the people in the land of blood started to see again. The Man grabbed Sorrow's hand, and ran to the rock. Once they there, Sorrow said, "The Lord answered my prayers!" The Man replied, "That's great to know, but I got to focus my strength on this Sword!"
The man grabbed onto the Sword, pulled it out of the Rock, and struck the Demon with the Sword. As the Sword pierced the Demon's chest, it screamed in pain, and died a slow death. It melted away into the ground, never to be seen again. The Man looked at the Sword and rejoiced. He gave thanks to the Lord. Sorrow was finally filled with Joy and rejoiced with Man and gave thanks to the Lord. But the land was still in darkness, and the land of blood was still flowing, with creatures still roaming, and people still suffering.
Suddenly, Water started to come out of the Rock! The Man and Sorrow were shocked, and amazed at it's beauty. The Water started to purify the land, destroying the creatures, and the darkness, while putting the people into an eternal state of rest, but they could not go into paradise, because they didn't earn. While their suffering was over with, they were forever still, unable to move. But they still rejoiced at this, for their eternal suffering was over.
The Water purified everything, and Hell was destroyed. And it was turned into Paradise. The Man and Sorrow were filled with happiness, and sang with Joy to the Lord, for he had finally arrived and saved them. Sorrow looked at this paradise, and said, "This is the most beautiful place I have ever seen." The Man replied, "We shall call this our home." The fear they had was gone, for they were at peace, and were in a world of complete bliss.
The Man put down the Sword, said thank you to God. God replied, "You have done well my good and faithful servant. And I bless your new relationship with this woman named Sorrow!"
The Man and Sorrow both looked at one another, and kissed each other gently on the lips. And even though her name was still Sorrow, she would feel joy for the rest of her life. And both she and The Man would rejoice with the Lord daily, and give thanks to everything that he would give them.
Then the Man woke up..................
