Satan forbade his legions from harassing Jason in any way. The Devil wanted to have all the fun of torturing his guest. Lucifer longed to personally condemn a man's soul himself instead of it happening naturally. Here was his chance.
Ere Jason even met Beelzabub he heard a sinister voice giving him a less-than kind welcome: "Who dares to enter the pits of Hades? You may be brave, but you're a fool to visit Hell." Satan then appeared through a cloud of mist.
When the mist cleared, spikes of stalagmites and stalactites glowed bright red attracting insect-like critters with eyes, legs, wings and most other parts in sets of six. These creatures also had vice-like mandibles which moved like bellows and vibrating stingers. As for Lucifer, he had a dark, sinister complexion, a tail shaped like a trident and horns. He also seemed to have shimmering tattoos of mayhem and destruction of every imaginable, or was it all an illusion? He sometimes appeared as an enticingly beautiful woman, a man, a lizard or a serpent.
In spite of earlier threats, Satan formally welcomed Jason to Hell and gave him a grand tour. In the hottest part of Hell was at least one former televangelist who swindled many gullible followers into sending money to spare his life from God. God gladly gave Satan custody of this fool's soul. The disgraced preacher was forever fated to drown in melted down silver and gold coins or to sear among burning paper currency. Meanwhile, a very homely woman was constantly drowning in her excessive supply of makeup. This preacher's wife also swindled millions of believers in the name of God.
At an intermediate level were mostly snooty ladies and some men who once wore fur coats. All of these ladies were destined to be forever chased and attacked by carcasses of minks, ermines, chinchillas, cheetahs, rabbits, and others. Some were individuals with claws and teeth, others were modified coats collectively biting these women in perpetuity. If one of these ladies wounded an aggressor its entrails would become stinging worms or biting serpents, its legs clawed leeches, and its blood would propel voracious piranhas at these ladies until the coats regenerated. Jason was somewhat sickened, but he had no sympathy for these selfish and self-centered women. (to be cont'd)
