Fallen, A 100 Word Story

Darkness was always descending. His soul screamed out in abysmal loneliness. Hate, fear, loathing and despair plucked at his very being.
The war had been terrible, brutal and metamorphic. The destruction had been beyond belief on both sides. The rebellion had failed and failed miserably.
He gripped his chest and hyperventilated, trying to regain control of his sanity. Heaven was but a memory lost. Hell was a terrible constant.
He had been beautiful once. He had been the fairest among all the multitudes. Beauty, however, is only skin deep. Evil is unfathomable and eternal.
Lucifer was alone in the pit.

The subject this week is "The Pit". Go, Read, Listen, Enjoy, VOTE!

When writing drabble (100 word stories) It is always tempting to go with humor (especially with that group), but I felt this one pretty strongly. Thanks.
