A novel inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy, Rise: The Ballad of Damien Fontaine. A story of love, hate, betrayal, and the bittersweet thought of the afterlife will tell the story of the difference between that of Heaven and Hell. The story is told through the eyes of Damien Fontaine, who, one night simply goes on a date with his beloved Alexandria. When their beverages arrive, she drinks, then collapses. Terrified, he embraces her once warm corpse. He then leans in to kiss her; but whatever poison was left on her dry lips gets on Damien's. A mysterious, deadly poison. Damien is confronted with Death. And once he refuses his fate and tries to escape, Death refuses to show mercy to Damien. Therefore he is damned to The Inferno, but no demon, no devil, no angel, and no God will stop him from reuniting with his love. Nothing will, because nothing can...

Just like to add a little disclaimer. ⚠️Nothing in this is real of course. But even the myths of the 'devil' have been messed around. So please don't comment anything like "this isn't even how it actually works" because like I said, they're myths which I'm just tampering with a little for the purpose of this story!⚠️
A seven part short story.
Everybody's days are numbered, for nobody is to live forever.
