This story I wrote a few years ago. I kinda getting into psychological thriller/horror. I think I had just seen Shutter Island and wanted to see Sucker Punch, so you can see the resemblance. It was also built upon a Halloween theme park that I had the idea for, why I don't know. But whatever, please enjoy.

This was one of the first pieces I ever wrote. I was just starting high school, and was going through this weird phase where I got really into my heritage, I'm Mexican. This was around the time that I was also introduced the Robert Rodriguez and his films, particularly the Mariachi Trilogy. As you read you can see it is heavily influenced by that. I wanted to incorporate my friends into the story as well as the girl that I liked at the time, cause that's just what I did. I only got a couple of chapters into this before I moved away and lost the heart to continue/ started to see how much of a rip-off it was. So enjoy.

The final and complete story is now available on Amazon for only .99 cents! Prather, a now dead Roman Gladiator, faces off in Lucifer's own twisted version of the Roman gladiator games. With his soul on the line, Prather must survive various challenges, the Devil himself, throws at him. If Prather can make it out alive he is rewarded with his soul and a new life on earth; if he fails, then he is trapped in Hell for eternity, and subjected to never-ending torture more horrible than he can imagine, with no chance to ever escape. This is the first story in the short story series.
