Just like Orpheus, I descended. Though, my digression was for different reasons. Yeah, I tried to rescue you from your hell. Bring you out of the degradation, the debauchery. It smelled like ***** and **** The swine squealed. The harpies shrieked. And, I looked too long. I became you. Thank God I escaped. Fate dragged me out by the scruff of my neck. I will never visit your underworld again. You've made it your home.
