Lasciate Ogne Speranza, Voi Ch'intrate

This is a three-shot. Similar to a one-shot only it has a prologue and an epilogue. It’s not a one-shot collection; it’s one and the same story.

I wrote this since I have a collection of a few poems* that is about two friends I’ve made up. I realized that those poems are merely flashes of their lives and aren’t supposed to be more than that. Hence the two friends and their thoughts and feelings couldn’t really be put into context. So I wrote this one-shot based on those poems. You don’t have to read the poems to read this, it will make sense anyway.

This is merely a glance into their lives, a window of a couple of minutes. But that’s most likely enough.

It’s very loosely based on aspects of the Divine Comedy (as are the poems).

* And I know it’s blunt but whatever
* “God help those who help themselves”
* ATTENTION! Just take it already.
* I’ve Had it With Your Hypocrisy
* Feel free to keep ignoring me
* In Fear I Tread So Softly Through Each Day
* High School
