Aunque no será el tema habitual de mis historias, ni mucho menos.Decir que para entender este relato al 100% sería mejor conocer a un nivel básico la divina comedia.…

In one day, the world succumbed to a pestilence that decimated the living. In its place rose a new species: vicious, gruesome, wandering zombies with an insatiable hunger for the living. Still in her twenties, Cash has watched her friends die, only to walk again. An office worker with few survival skills, she joins up with Clutch, a grizzled Army veteran with PTSD. Together, they flee the city and struggle through the nine circles of hell, with nothing but Clutch's military experience and Cash's determination to live. As they fight to survive in the zombie inferno, they quickly discover that nowhere is safe from the undead...or the living.

Analytical poems of Dante's Inferno

Just what it says on the tin. I wrote these six poems for a school project-- basically a summary of Dante's Inferno in six poems, each in (what was my attempt at) iambic pentameter. Some of them rhyme, most do not, but I would rather sacrifice the rhyme scheme over the syllable patterns and to stay as close to the story as possible. There are some direct quotes, and obviously I did not write Inferno-- that was all Dante Alighieri. I'm not sure how to give credit to Dante except like this, so this is my Disclaimer-- I DO NOT OWN DANTE'S INFERNO, only this new arrangement of the poetry into other poetry. AGAIN, THERE ARE SOME DIRECT QUOTES. Does this count as fanfiction? It's "a fanfiction of a fanfiction that was a self-insert of the old testament".…

Nine Circles Of Hell

Nine Circles Of Hell

7,405 51 11

Inferno (pronounced [inˈfɛrno]; Italian for "Hell") is the first part of Dante Alighieri's 14th-century epic poem Divine Comedy. It is followed by Purgatorio and Paradiso. The Inferno tells the journey of Dante through Hell, guided by the ancient Roman poet Virgil. In the poem, Hell is depicted as nine circles of suffering located within the Earth; it is the "realm...of those who have rejected spiritual values by yielding to bestial appetites or violence, or by perverting their human intellect to fraud or malice against their fellowmen."As an allegory, the Divine Comedy represents the journey of the soul toward God, with the Inferno describing the recognition and rejection of sin.…

I'm a bit fuzzy on the rules, but I'm pretty good at handling balls..." Sierra replied with a mischievous sparkle in her eyes, and a deliberate emphasis on the last word to let the guys know that she'd meant it to have some flirtatious innuendo. Reece choked with surprise and Jason seemed to freeze in place. She could have sworn that Michael's skin actually changed colour.
