Okay, so the inferno is very different from most stories we've told on here.

So I'm going to give a quick 30 second intro.

The inferno is part of a much larger work called the Divine Comedy by the Italian poet Dante

Allegheri. Dante is both the author and the main character with the line between the two getting

pretty fuzzy. It was written in the middle ages and it's ripe with allegory and hidden meaning.

Dante blinked awake. Huh, something was off. He didn't remember falling

asleep in a dark forest that was an allegory for his own separation from God.

Few do, but here he was. Walking through a dark forest that was an allegory for his own separation

from God. Dante had never been in a story with a hidden meaning before and lacks supplies and

provisions for the long journey ahead. Did people even need to eat an allegory? Dante shrugged.

He figured he would find out. Looking around, in a development that Dante thought was a bit much,

even for a medieval allegory, he had lost the true path and was now very much lost in the dark woods.

He pressed through the trees of the suffocatingly dark forest, emerging at last into the sunlight.

There, before him, he saw a shiny hill. Dante smiled. If the dark forest were one

lost the true path represented his separation from God, then a shiny hill, the exact opposite of

a dark forest, had to be a step in the right direction. This allegory stuff was easy.

He started climbing the steep hill, an undertaking made all the more difficult by his 14th

century flowing Italian garb and sandals, and also by the vicious leopard that had appeared,

and was now swiping at him, mere inches from his face.

I'm Jason Moiser. From Bardock, this is fictional.

Dante high-tailed it back down the hill, inside at the bottom.

Okay, notice self. The dark forest was bad, hill good, but a leopard!
