adventure dante devinecomedy epicpoetry fantasy hell inferno journey paradiso poetry purgatorio purgatory rewrite wattys2020

is an epic allegory of the spiritual journey of man. Virgil, Dante the pilgrim's guide, leads him through the 7 layers of hell. Throughout his journey through the torturous layers, Dante discovers the perfection of God's divine justice and themes of contrapasso are largely explored. Classical symbolism and classical figures are constantly referenced. This serves to emphasize that God's power rules over all - even pagan characters/figures. Dante also uses structure prominently to emphasize the trinity. By organizing the poem into 3 line stanza's consistently, it emphasizes the perfection of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Similarly, pay close attention to the numbering of Cantos. The number symbolism of '3' for the trinity, and '7' for the holy number is consistently used throughout the work.--All Rights Reserved

From This World to That Which is to Come. This Christian story is delivered under the resemblance of a dream in which a man sets out on a dangerous journey out of the City of Destruction and fights his way through many stumbling paths to arrive at the Celestial City (The City of God). The story covers topics such as the process of conviction, what God does behind the scene, what depression does to you spiritually and the difficulties on the path to Christ.

100 Days in Deadland (part 1 of the Deadland Saga) by RachelAukes

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. (100 Days in Deadland is a journey through the first poem in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, the classic tale on the horrors of hell... zombie apocalypse style!) (Note: This is a draft so please excuse any errors. The finished novel is available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook).

The Trials In Limbo by SaintHarlequinn

Heaven is for the saints and Hell is for the sinners. Simple as that right? Not. Even. Close. Sometimes, people do the wrong things for the right reasons, or they are just insane and their actions cannot be determined. In those situations, those people are sent to Limbo--a place between Heaven and Hell. In Limbo, the souls are tested by four trials. These trials decide where the souls end up. Saint Jimmy is one of the souls to end up in Limbo. How will he fare in the trials? (In case this wasn't implied, you should probably read "Hollow Lies of Working Class Heroes" first. Reading "Son of Rage and Love" is not required, though is recommended. Thank you!)

Monster by TypicallyUntypical

Virgil, a Neko, doesn't remember anything from before 3 years ago. His first memory is of Remus, a demon with sharp terrifying features, smiling down at him with a sadistic smile, offering a helping hand as rain pelted his sore body. What will happen when he is found by an Angel, a Witch and a Human who claim to be his family? Will he allow them to break down the walls he has built or will he attempt to protect himself by being on his own? Thank you for checking out my book, the first two chapters are posted in my one shot book so if you read it from there you won't be missing anything by skipping those two chapters! Please feel free to leave comments with your theories and opinions! This book will have some themes of abuse and neglect. Please don't push yourself while reading it. This story is Complete!

Heavenly Visions (Part 2): The Great Prophesied Tribulation by Astin707

Sequel to the Heavenly Visions:(Part 1) The Burning Inferno Where Dark Entities Dwell... This book contains the knowledge of the Armageddon and the Rapture of the Church in the near future. Also contains the story of Satan's vengeance and the spiritual birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ (before the physical birth here on Earth through Mary). Beware, for the details are too confusing to those who doesn't understand the Word of God (Bible) and that everything written are TRUE and REAL, for it is impossible for a 15 year old to be able to come up with such things, without the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit. I, as a messenger of God, do NOT force you all to believe what I write, for the decision and choice is yours to take. You have the right to choose to believe or not, since you have the Gift of Free Will. I merely do the task given to me, so I will spread the word to those who are willing to listen before the impending doom of this world. I pray and hope for your cooperation and devotion towards what the Lord God has plan for your life and faith in the Truth revealed unto your eyes. Remember everyone, that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Truth and the Truth will set us free. I pray and hope that after reading this book, you'll finally realize and accept your mistakes in life and ask for forgiveness to the Lord Almighty God, turning away from your sins. Be purified and be bless by the grace and consuming fire of God. Be washed and be cleansed by the fresh blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Pray and believe. Have Faith and hope in Him, who is ALWAYS with us in every step we make in our lives. Rejoice for the Time has come! The Second Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ! The Wedding of the Lamb! Rejoice and be Glad!!! Amen.

Death's Scars by brandyanime

Death lingers and revolves in a natural form, a residual being who can see your dreams, nightmares and if it so wishes the common daydreams of mortals. Dreams spill into nightmares so easily that the shift can spur the unknown. What creates the bridge between thought and conciousness? Death is meaning and silence. The mortal path always leads to the same end. Overlapping and intermingling infinitely till life meets death. Though in some instances it's not as simple as that. What kind of life can one lead when death is around every corner? Glimpses into the past, present, and even the future are all tied to death. Can you outrun death even when it licks at your very heels? Who will it take next?
