“It leads to hell,” they hiss accusingly. “It should have been burned after the execution.”

“It will serve as a warning to others but it must be painted gaily and surrounded by beauty, to keep the devil at bay.” My ominous tone appeases them, those superstitious fools who killed my love.

She refused to denounce me, even as they added the rocks which smothered her final breath.

Now she has a shrine.

Do not fear the door. It leads nowhere. Hell is here.
