Welcome to your hell.

Here is no sulfourus stink, no agony-fires, no undying worm that gnaws. Here is nothing unpleasant at all.

Welcome to your hell.

Here are no spiders. No cobwebs. Here are no moths, no mice. Nothing rots.

Welcome to your hell.

Here instead is your best friend and your lover, singing your favourite song, serving your favourite food. For you and you only. Over and over, for ever and ever. Unending.

Welcome to your hell.

Everything here is your choice. There are no unexpected visitors, no uninvited opinions. There are no accidents, no alarms, no sirens. There are no surprises.

Welcome to your hell.

You will never leave. This, too, is your choice.

Though this is definitely a message which has been said before, it is more so one that should be given often, and your delivery of the message was nothing short of excellent. It leaves the reader with the haunting image of what a endless loop of life, even a loop in paradise, will do to you. The final line is somewhat ambiguous, which is actually something I like, allowing the reader to decide what they think it means. The use of repetition is brilliant, although I wish this writing had been a bit longer. Excellent job, thank you for this.
