HELLSCRIPT.EXE
Part 1: Pandemonium
Every scientist and pseudoscientist, pundit and conspiracy theorist, preacher and follower, influencer and commoner has their version of a harrowing, devastating apocalypse. Our minds became a landfill of frantic thoughts when a natural occurrence threatened our existence. Because our brains functioned like a prediction machine, we imagined scenarios of cataclysmic proportions, but they turned out to be anticlimactic events. However, the story didn’t end there. At first, this otherworldly phenomenon seemed harmless. When the first Hellhound emerged from the Void and indiscriminately passed judgment on the living, we realized that Hell wasn’t a state of mind, a concept for lofty philosophical debate, a religious perspective, or a sinner’s place in the afterlife. It was a horrifying reality unfolding right before our eyes. It was the annihilation of our existence.
