I have a great idea for an epic story I'll never write

[fpb]

The hero goes down to Hell. He goes through all kinds of unleashed human evil, travelling at once through history and through the human soul, seeing all the aberrant reasons and the twisted emotions that lead to the worst results. And in the end, when he gets to the bottom of Hell, he finds that the Devil is this little pale guy with glasses, wringing his hands and saying continuously: "This wasn't what I meant! I didn't mean it to end like this!"
