Note on the players: Dante Bill is an allusion to his namesake from the Inferno; Mark Twain acts as Virgil, his writer-guide through hell. Neither has been consigned there.
Genre: Partial Epic
Word Count: 99
Dante Bill (colorful rapper): Dude, where’s the fire and brimstone? It’s freezing cold here.
Mark Twain (dead white male): Hell’s different from place to place.
What’s with the shrines there?
Shrines? Oh, toilets. That’s for . . . .
Yeah, why the big deal?
They’re the only ones in this area.
That stinks, man! Crowds of woke politicians and their virtue-signaling kool-aid drinkers jumping up and down like yo-yo’s. They could just go in the woods.
Problem is, it’s against the rules. Their punishment is that they have to follow the sign.
Where does it point?
To Satan’s toilet.
This Jolly Beggar 
Reassuring to know Satan is human enough to need a toilet

I’m amazed at the lateral thinking that brought you to Satan’s toilet! And poor old Mark Twain…

Oh don’t feel sorry for Twain. He was like Virgil in the Inferno, just a tour guide not an actual resident.

A very creative spin you put on the image, Dora, and I like the genre you put it in. Philip Jose Farmer wrote a series of books about people waking up along a river when they die. Each death you never knew who you would be waking next to…

What an interesting concept to write a series on! I was borrowing from Dante’s Inferno as so many do. 😂 Thanks for reading, Lisa. So nice to see your comments again.

That would make a great name for a tourist attraction – “Satan’s Toilet”. Maybe not if it was situated in Hell though 😮

Dear Dora,
Interesting image of hell. Personally, I think it’s more like a sports bar lined with flat screens with various games being broadcast and peanut shells scattered on the floor. 😉 If you haven’t seen this Twilight Zone…this is the ending to one of my favorite episodes.
Shalom u’vracha,

Since Satan never bothers to follow rules, I’m wondering why he bothered having his own personal toilet 🙂

Haha. This isn’t Milton’s Satan. Part of being in Hell would mean having conditions imposed on you not according to your liking.
