The Netherworld Diaries, Pt.3

I was standing in this godforsaken parking lot. Why did I always wind up here? Did it hold some significance that I couldn't see?1

I let the thought slip away from my mind, and I walked along the street that was in the opposite direction from the tree/wall demon that was slowly devouring the netherworld.2

It was moving a little faster than before. No. It slowed down again. It's huge, single yellowed eye had been locked on me ever since I'd touched it. If you ever got the feeling you were being watched, try having the feeling 24/7 and knowing you were being watched by a massive, ravenous wall demon. Not a nice feeling.3

I walked along the street and looked for a sign of some sort, and I had found a signpost, but no sign. Ah, it had fallen from the post. I was on "Apathy Lane". What kind of name was that?4

I continued walking, and I saw several people standing outside their homes, beating,  cutting, hanging, tearing at themselves, anything to cause harm to themselves. Some had hanged themselves, and were hanging there squirming with red faces..and some had even cut themselves open and their insides were exposed. I saw this and turned my head and threw up. It was way too much.5

Nate appeared beside of me again and told me: 6

"All of the people who commit suicide wind up in apathy lane..they never quite die, though...because this is the netherworld. Their soul is still in torment, and they are still attempting suicide...but because you can't die here, all they are doing is causing themselves great pain, over and over. This is their hell."7

Nate then dissapeared again, and I was left in this greusome place alone.8

I walked back out of the area and found that the sign had been repaired. It still read the same thing, however. I was used to these odd things happening here, now...what with Nate magically popping up here and there, and the signs fixing themselves..it was natural for me now.9

I made a left turn from apathy lane into what read to be "S#ot# Avenue".10

Some of it I couldn't make out. I looked around for something to possibly wash the markings from the sign, and I found a shred of bloody cloth. While it was disgusting, I used it, and read the sign again.11

It read "Scott Avenue". My name..I remembered my name, it was Scott Fields!12

And then I had a flashback..I was driving in the rain and I hit a sharp curve in the road. The road was wet, and I hit the breaks, and the car went sideways. Then I came out of the flashback. It was getting clearer and clearer as to how I died..or so I thought.13

Nate appeared beside me again and told me that things weren't as they seemed, once again, then he dissapeared again.14

I was getting upset. I had a huge creature after me, and I only had bits and pieces of the memory of my death. I did remember though, that my name was Scott Fields, and that was all I knew..15

I turned around and saw that the wall demon had gotten to the parking lot already. Time was running out very quickly.16
