Chapter one: Cerberus.

Hell's flames were burning as they had nerver burned. Fallen angels' eyes were burning with anger while they were seeing how limbo's gate was opening. Terrific children with frightening sights were coming out looking for God's forgiveness. Some of them would get it, others would return to hell as if they had never went out.
Jason, a teenager for Lucifer's eyes, stayed in there with Alex, his most loyal friend. They wouldn't go out, there were busy with another business. Soon, heaven's gate would open to welcome the newest hosts and they should be prepared. They would escape from hell as they could and then the most difficult part, sneaking into heaven.
-This is going to be impossible, Jason. We are never getting out of here. -Whispered Alex observing hell's gate's guard who were walking around. Their capes covered all their body from their head to their feet. Their faces were replaced by non-shaped images and their bony hands held a mallet. At a side of the gate, Cerberus was waiting to be fed by his owners. His three heads were carefully looking for a prey to eat.
-Probably we'll be next Cerberus' meal. Look at him, he's hungry, may we visit him? -Said Jason joking about the situation without knowing that Alex was really scared of the hell's dog. His six eyes were burning in hunger and his unsharpened claws were desiring to get new bones to be sharpened. One of his heads was licking its lips looking at the kids going into the purgatory, one of them would be his dinner.
-Does that make you laugh? -Asked Alex terrified because they could be discovered if they didn't move quickly. Cerberus would love to have two boys for dinner, especially them, they had been face to face with him more than once.
-Bah, as soon as he'll see such beautiful faces like ours, he will lose his appetite. -Said Jason laughing so hard that they called the dog's attention, they were putting theirselves in too much danger.
-He will cut out heads off if he sees us here! -Exclamed Alex getting out of there.
-Where are you going? -Asked Jason while laughing, Alex was too coward sometimes.
-We have to move if we don't want to be caught.

What's coming.

It's said that something inconceivable happened once. An angel and a demon. Both went through the purgatory at the same time, both suffered together while they still had feelings. The legend says that the woman seduced him and from that a girl was born. A little perfect girl, white skinned, red lips as blood, golden hair and blue eyes. The little one went to heaven with her mother while he went to the hell's flames. It's believed that the girl was brought up at heaven. This was an exceptional case, something like this had never happened before and she was the protected girl of God. She was the only one who felt, thought and the only one who knew what was going on. Some demons had infiltrated and were corrupting women. They say she fell in love with a red-eyed demon and that's the origin of them, the damned ones.

Writing techniques.

In our last class we were practicing three different writing techniques:

• The first one consisted in making topics from general themes. At first it was a little confusing because we couldn’t think about specific titles but then it became easier and easier.

• The second one was a brainstorming about one of the previous topics. You had to write ideas that came to your mind which were related to the main topic, even things that didn’t seem to be directly related to the subject. They would finally get joined together.

• In the last one, you had to make a kind of map with all the ideas of the previous techniques and connect them so that even the ones that seem to have no relation with the topic are included in the list.

In my opinion after using these three techniques, the most useful is the second one. It helps you to know what to write about in your essay and not to forget about anything. I’ve used this method several times. I use it sometimes to write essays but when I mostly use it is when I have to prepare a topic for an oral exam. I really recommend it if you have to do an essay about a hard theme or if you need to improvise a speech and they give you a couple of minutes.

All in all, I think that this was a very useful class even though at first it didn’t seem to be important.
