Within a second, they found themselves plunging into a netherworld of darkness. They were swept through what looked like a huge rocky tunnel in space, which led to the fiery world of Hell—the lone planet of the red star Kordor. Within another few seconds they stood before a tiny 8-by-8 foot cell, one of apparently thousands of cells along a dismal and musty stone corridor. The entrance to the cell was guarded by a crude set of heavy, metal bars, and within that cell was Jerry’s mother, still dressed in her hospital gown. She stood with her hands firmly gripping the bars, gazing out into the corridor. Her dusty cell contained no furniture, not even a bed, and the air was filled with the cries and moans of the prisoners of this terrible realm. The corridor in which they stood was illuminated by a series of huge crystals imbedded in the ceiling that glowed with sallow amber light.

“It looks like most of the cells in this block are already filled,” noted Christopher, looking about. “It won’t be long before the demons arrive to harvest them.”

“Harvest them?” asked Jerry.

“Yes,” said Christopher. “The angels bring the condemned souls to this place and lock them into the cells. When all of the cells of a block are filled, the demons come to harvest them. They first prepare them, dressing and shackling them appropriately. Then they may take a soul off to Satan himself, if the case of that particular individual interests him. But more often they are taken to their eternal fate, and that is determined by their crimes.”

“Their crimes?” asked Jerry. “My mother is not a criminal.”

“Anyone who sins falls short of the glory of God. You know that,” replied Christopher. “I saw some of your mother’s life. Yes, terrible things happened to her; she was treated very badly, but sin is sin. Without Jesus we’re all lost.”

Jerry only nodded.

“We need to move forward in time,” announced Christopher.

Again Jerry nodded silently.

The scene around them changed. The vast dungeon itself was engulfed in dense mists. Only Leona’s cell was visible. Leona was surrounded by three demons. Her eyes were damp with tears and her wrists had been shackled behind her back. She no longer wore the hospital gown, but rather a skimpy, ragged, gray top and a sort of loincloth, which was narrow at the sides and somewhat longer in front and back. Its tattered fabric barely covered her more intimate areas. The demons roughly escorted the barefoot woman from her cell and into a dark vortex that had formed in what used to be the corridor. Christopher and Jerry followed.

Within seconds they were transported to a hot, barren plain. The boys had a momentary sense of disorienting vertigo, but it passed quickly. They scanned their surroundings; they were alone, at least they appeared to be. Yet all about them they beheld an astonishing sight: thousands upon thousands of 6-foot-tall metal statues arranged with geometric precision as far as the eye could see. Each sat upon a light gray marble base and was set about 20 feet from the next.
