[ WP ] Around the world , the following message was heard : `` We would like to announce that Hell is finally empty . ''

“ We would like to announce that Hell is finally empty. ” 
 A large man sits up, smoke rising from his body. He shakes his head and laughs, saying in Russian “ Eto khorosho, chtoby vernut'sya, tovarishchi. ” 
 
 “ We would like to announce that Hell is finally empty. ” 
 Another man walks down a street, shaking his head in wonder. He feels self-conscious about his mustache, clearly no longer in style. He begins to day dream of power and purity. He smiles, and begins to walk a little faster. 
 
 “ …Hell is finally empty. ” 
 A brute of a man giggles to himself as he paints his face in a gas station bathroom. Stepping out, he begins to walk toward the high school with a smile. 
 
 “ …empty. ” 
 The tall man finished reading the book and smiled. He was a legend. It was time that these people learned to once again fear the Dragon. 
 
 Two months after what we began to call “ The Declaration, ” everything collapsed. When it first happened, everyone thought it was the strangest prank ever. Then we started noticing how crowded the world had gotten. Crime began to rise and people began to disappear. People began to make a huge buzz about how paranormal investigators and scientists managed to work together to prove the existence of ghosts, and then the hauntings began to get violent. 
 
 Finally, after two months, war broke out between several nations in Asia and Cuba began a nuclear assault on the Southeastern United States. Each attack caused a retaliation which in turn triggered retaliation. The U.S. itself became uninhabitable everywhere but in the Northern Midwest. 
 
 And that ’ s where we ’ re at now. Huddled 10 to a room in a small cottage in the mountains. There are priests and reverends trying to cheer us all up, as though we hadn ’ t heard the screams of the dead in our dreams and on our way here. They don ’ t understand that the world is filled with the souls of the dead now and there ’ s no room for the living, there ’ s no longer room for the weak or the good. 
 
 We figured it out from the dreams. Lucifer knew the scriptures, he knew how revelations was supposed to happen, so he changed it. He had dominion over Hell and Earth, so he just emptied one into the other. The worst of the souls he had, he gave physical life, knowing they could do his work far better if they were alive. Other souls, he simply kicked out to roam the world as malevolent spirits. There were far more souls in Hell than room on Earth. Even the weak ones can be felt in places like the one we ’ ve sought sanctuary in. It ’ s a constant feeling of oppressive malevolence. 
 
 So the priests preach God ’ s grace, asking us to close our eyes and pray to him. But can ’ t they hear it? When we close our eyes and it gets quiet? It ’ s not God…. And he ’ s laughing…
