THE FLAMING BRIDGE
Just
this side of Hell is a place called the Flaming Bridge. When an abused animal dies, it
stops by to discuss its life with the Keepers of the Flaming Bridge before continuing on
to the Rainbow Bridge. The Keepers of the Flaming Bridge compile a Master List of animal
abusers, so that they will be able to recognize them and confront them with their actions
when they die. Across fields of flame roll cries of agony, mimicking the pain inflicted on
the innocent animals by their heartless abusers. But the animals are not there crying out
- they have gone on to Rainbow Bridge and their just rewards for the innocent lives they
have lead. The cries come from the dark cohorts of the Keepers - savage beasts out of the
worst nightmares of the animal abusers for whom they wait. Patiently, they wait,
planning for the day when the abuser arrives. Then one day, their cries grow more
urgent. Their eyes burn with an eerie, unearthly glow. Savage glee lights their
hideous faces, and as one they turn and run. Faster and faster they run, flying
over the ruined land, drawn on by their quarry. The abuser has arrived at last, and
when the pack reaches him they fall upon him to wreak their vengeance. His flesh is flayed
from his body as their reeking breath and shrieking laughter fill his agonized
consciousness. But he does not die - his pain will continue, forever. Then the pack drags
the abuser across Flaming Bridge, down into that special place in Hell reserved just for
"people" like him...... -Author wishes to remain
