Through the carriage window the dark forest blacked out the sunlight, and the passage itself was naturally quite terrifying.
When the trees finally cleared, the roads opened up, and as they climbed the mountain, she could make out many poles on the horizon - now dimming with the sunset … as though the big hill was one great spike furred animal.
She could not understand what it was that she was seeing. Only when they drew closer did Fatima find that there were human bodies skewed by huge wooden stakes. And, there were hundreds, if not thousands, of these spikes that had a person attached to every one of them.
Fatima believed there and then that she had been transported into Hell - for no place on Earth could insult life with this horror.
She turned to her companion, expecting that he also was caught by the horror, and then it came.
He smiled. He looked out over the acres of torment, and smiled. He looked back at her frenzy, and smiled. Without a heart or soul, this man had nothing - but a smile.
