Hell, where is it?” “That’s hard to say.” “Huh?” Gabriel rolled over onto the grass and sighed. “Abaddon is nothing like your world. Where Earth has finite space -- the planet itself, I mean -- Abaddon does not. It simply doesn’t exist in the same… reality.” Turning his head just enough to see Gabriel, Jesse had the distinct feeling there was a lot more to it than Gabriel let on. “Compare it to something then. Is it like Hell -- or at least like the pictures?” “Consider who you’re talking to,” Gabriel chuckled. “Trust me, Hell is whatever a soul makes it. Abaddon is a world of what humans would call living nightmares.” “Isn’t there anything good there?” Gabriel gave him a wry smile. “No.” “What about you?” Several seconds passed before Gabriel answered. “The way into Abaddon is deceptively simple.” He stood and held out his hand. “We’d best go.” Jesse let Gabriel pull him up, but he couldn’t help wondering why the man had avoided the question altogether.
