Carrier by Brian Grainger

"Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate"

Pulled ever downward, carried upon the shoulders of infernal stone, wracked with guilt, stained with the acrid tears of a sagging grey nimbus, we sink. A post inscribed with the name of a king, or a metal edict left spare in the sand - it doesn't matter, and still we sink. Spitting and coughing, cursing the men who sent us here, their animosities still writ large upon the fractured landscape, smoke collapsing lungs, forced to imbibe from this doomed goblet, as we drift further down into the black. There is simply nothing left, only a lurching stream of limbs and jaws, sloth and helpless, sucked below the crust of the burnt Urth, grasping at sodded walls smoothed over by the endless tide of the damned.
