Circle Six

Coming down the hole, we roughly landed into circle six on stones. Michael explained to us that this was only the first ditch of circle six which contains the people who have committed some kind of physical violence. Tori became startled as we started to feel the stones move underneath us. 

“Don’t worry, under the stones are where the sinners reside”, said Michael. “Their sin is abusing Muslims and their punishment is to be trapped under these heavy stones eternally!” 

For some reason this bothered all of us, so we quickly made our way to the next ditch. As we walked through the second ditch of circle six we could all feel the heat radiating from a few feet ahead. It hit us about the same time we noticed the loud moaning and clashing of chains that was also ahead of us. These were both coming from a large wall about 30 feet from where we were standing. As we came closer, Sarah asked, 

“What have these poor souls done to be chained to these walls as such?” “These sinners were put here for committing suicide”, Michael answered. “They are chained to these walls and can never leave. They escaped from earth by killing themselves, so now they can never escape this pain.”

Their cries saddened us, so we didn’t stay very long. Then we were on our course again to the last ditch of circle six. Michael warned us that these sinners did not commit suicide or abuse Muslims, but were in here for murder. He explained that no matter what we saw we were to feel no pity for them. As we strolled in the revolting smell hit us with a sickening change to our faces. We came across a deep red lake full of boiling blood. The sinners screamed as their flesh burned from the lake and were torn by the vicious bites of the piranhas. We wanted to flee from this disgusting sight so Michael led us to a bridge just in time. We all crossed over the bridge and into to the dim and shady forest where circle seven resided.
