Dante,
To day was a strange day. I followed a great poet into the depths of hell, I know him to be the ghost Virgil. We passed through hells 3 outer circles. I met 3 types of simple sinners. These souls of the damned committed only minor offenses. They were the greedy, the non believers and the breakers of the 10 commandments. To get to the place where the damned spent eternity we had to pass over a black sea on a strange boat. On the banks of the sea we found the souls that could not enter heaven or hell.

Before my journey into hell began I was wondering around in the woods. Not aware of what my future held for me I was happy, but that happiness couldn't last. As I was wondering the woods I lost track of time. As the sun set, its light focused on a hill. Because I wasn't eager to spend time in a dark forest I turned my attention to the hill. While I was walking to the hill I encountered 3 beasts. I was doomed to becoming these beats dinner. As I fearfully ran to the peak of the hill I encountered the ghost of Virgil. He guided me away from the beasts and through the gates of hell.
