What the Hell...

I have two distinct versions of Hell.

Version 1 (classic Hell): This version of Hell is a vast, barren wasteland covered with ruined buildings and debris. There is a constant wind blowing ash and dust and the sky is a dusty orange with black, smog-like clouds. There are caves that lead into endless passageways and catacombs filled with prowling, humanoid demons. At the heart of the wasteland there is an enormous atrium that seems to go endlessly underground. The atrium is lined with spiral stairs and jail cells. At the bottom of the atrium is a massive flame deluge and across it is the throne of the devil.

Version 2 (sadistic Hell): This version of Hell is not entirely clear to me but I envision it as not terribly different (as far as appearance goes) from Earth. The days never change. It is always the same temperature and the days are always grayish and night has no features such as moon or stars. Everything appears to be pretty normal and people go about their daily routines, whatever they might be. Everything is almost colorless. When you arrive, you discover that everyone is completely indifferent and apathetic, almost zombie-like. Everyone is extremely self-absorbed and politeness is virtually non-existent. You never grow old and you slowly become like everyone else around you. Every little thing that annoyed you or made you sad in your life on Earth happens all the time. 

So there you have it. Really cheerful, I know :)
