Helltown Drop of hope
The distraught woman was covered in construction material. Hurting all over, still scratching at her eye, she awaited the lava to engulf her while screaming in pain. It burnt her skull and brain, filling her nose with the disgusting smell of burned flesh. Digging in her claw into the socket, she yanked it out. Her eye, was not soft and squishy as expected. It was rock hard.Cassandra was stunned. She did not remember replacing it. It was her eye color and she could see through it, but it was made of glass. Overcome with vanquish, she hit the eye on the stone slab and...It broke. Just a little. And through the crack, a drop of water fell. The purest, shiniest drop she had ever seen. Touching the dark surface, it made it radiate warm bluish light. The liquid grew, spreading quickly into streams. Tiny bluish lines formed an ocean, covering every surface. She watched amazed. There was no more pain. Only peace.The hellish creatures stopped mid-flight. All looked up towards the portal in
Helltown Spark of joy
Deep underground, magma swished and splashed in the place where Helltown used to be.The tower, so high and menacing, was now nothing but floating rocks. Cassandra's apartment complex was already under the magma. With all the others trying to find footing after their great fall, only Stalin was left there. He watched the lava levels rise, making the kitchen sizzle and burn. "Finally some peace," he thought as the heat reached his cut head, letting out a breath before being engulfed by a hot wave.Further away, a number of carcasses were being carried by the current. One of them, a damned soul with longer hair and one horn, heard a sweat voice call out his name."Bernard, are you there?" the female voice said softly.The carcass twitched. "Margaret, is that you?" he uttered, not sure if the voice was coming from inside his head or was it a hallucination of his damaged mind."Bernard, what have you done to yourself?" the voice said sad."Please, tell me you are real," The burnt individua
Helltown The Descent
A well-lit bedroom with white curtains gently moving in the breeze. A feeble hand, covered in age spots, extended her knotty fingers towards an older man. "My time has come. I can feel it", a shaky female voice whispered.The woman speaking was lying on a comfortable bed with clean sheets. It was obvious that her wresting place was handled with a lot of care. Her family, two adult children and loving husband of 30 years, stood above her in tears. He still could not believe how quickly her illness aged her. And so suddenly. He clenched his teeth, putting her hand to his face. She spoke quietly, looking at him with milky eyes. "Before I go, I need you to promise me one thing." "Don't say that!" he cried."I need you to make sure my last rights are read before I'm buried.""You can't die yet...""Promise me that!" she let out a raspy yell. Holding back emotions, the man could only nod.Relieved, the woman laid down her tired head and closed her eyes. Her youngest called out her name as s
Helltown Welcome to Helltown
The girl calmed down to collect her thoughts. Besides the creatures stinking breath, she could feel something else on her lower back. It felt long and moved as if a limb would. Curious, she moved it towards her and gasped seeing a flesh tail with an arrow-like end."Now squeeze your ass," the creature grunted moving behind her.Exhaling furious, she moved her newly discovered tail around his member. The pig creature tried to free himself but could not unwrap himself from the flesh colored tail. Her hold over him was so strong, the creature was basically stuck. He puffed and moaned, confused and aroused."Where am I?" she said."Ha! If you don't know then why should I tell you?" the creature squeaked."Is this the bad place? What circle am I in?"The hog demon laughed. "You humans, and your circles! You don't know the first thing about this place, do you?"His snickering, made her skin crawl. Her tail squeezed around him even tighter, with the pointy part pressed into his groins. The c
Helltown The beginning
"I remember that day as if it was yesterday," Tiff narrated over the picturesque ceiling and arches of a famous European city. There a group of American students were visiting for their first school trip abroad. It was the 60s and the world was a much different place."As you can see, this basilica is an architecture of the Renaissance era. Just look at that dome…" an enthusiastic tour guide told a group of teens. Her face was covered with thick jar-like glasses as she waved her arms and pointed, talking about the history of the majestic place of worship. Her audience were senior students from a prestigious American high school. Four girls stood in the back looking around, disinterested. One was obnoxiously chewing a bubble gum. She had a heavy layer of mascara and bright eye shadow that made her look older."How long is this going to take?" the girl, called Regina, whispered to her friends."Why? Are you in a hurry?" another girl, Jenifer, with high-waist jeans and a colorful sweater
Helltown At the dump
A large hand burrowed into a pile. It clenched something tight before pulling it to the surface. "No, no, no," a desperate voice pleaded. Cassandra peaked out from her hiding. The two hog demons have grabbed an elderly man and were torturing him. He was skin and bones, with a long completely white hair and beard. Feeble, he could barely scream as they held him down and gouged his eye out.The two snorted with glee, holding a bloody eyeball."Come on, guys," he whispered with a shaky voice. "Give that back," he pleaded. The pig creature howled from laughter, still holding the eye. "You want it?" he yelled and threw it as far as possible. "Go and find it?"The old man bowed his head, tired and weak. His tormentors snickered, alerted by a new sound."Incoming," the other yelled, pointing up. A young man, which Cassandra saw a while ago, finally fell, hitting one of the softer piles. He stood up, still conscious after impact. Looking around, the man let out a horrified scream. Cassandra c
Helltown Back in the past
"Okay, who do you..." she yelled quickly opening the door. The hallway was empty.Confused, the lonely girl took a step out into the hallway. A sudden pain in her foot made her flinch. It was a thin nail, no larger than a needle. Cursing, the girl picked it up and placed it in the jacket on the coat hanger. "Probably fell from one of the fixtures. I should put it away so others don't get hurt," she thought, returning to bed. She checked one more time if there was someone there. Not a chuckle, not a single sound could be heard. She closed the door angry, double-checking if it was locked.The next morning, a line of sleepy high schoolers slouched next to a bus drowsy. Tiffany walked past their yawning friends, cool and refreshed."So did you accomplish your master plan?" she smirked watching them leaned their heavy heads on each other's shoulders. "Oh buzz off!" Regina blurted.With a superior smile, Tiff turned to Tina. "What happened?""The boys got some cheap wine," she said, grabbi
Helltown The deal
"Wow, you really are new. I disarmed you without even trying," the girl with long blond hair said. Cassandra gulped, stunned. She tried to run, but her assailant was faster."If you listen to what I have to say, I'm not going to hurt you. But if you disrespect me like this again, I will tear your guts out. Understand?" she snarled into her ear. Her claws dug into her captive's arm. The dagger dug into her skin, almost drawing blood.Cassandra nodded, helpless. "Good," the twisted girl replied. Her grip loosened. "Act natural and don't cause a scene."They were still standing in the same spot when a couple of men rode in their long carriages held up by slaves. They were all well-fed and clothed, some of them sporting horns or having long clawlike hands. Strutting past them, they walked into the establishment with an aura of superiority that could be felt for miles."Who are they?" Cassandra asked."Them?" the girl said. "They were human once. Now, I don't know what they are.""What do
