Wanderer-1. 'The Slider'

If you’re trying to learn something secret and mystical, remember: it may all be real. Don’t be careless—consequences can be terrible. You wouldn’t want to become death’s eternal lover, would you? The foolish thing you’ll do just because you’re curious can change your whole life. As a result, Hell will start to look like the place where you’ll be allowed to rest. Maybe you think the very end of life is death? You’re wrong—it’s only a moment of transition. In the instant when consciousness has almost gone dark, you will experience a vile feeling like nothing else, tearing and disgusting—because shadows appear and you’re ripped from your own body. From now on you’ll be slipping through… And somewhere out there in emptiness, you feel a cold bony hand of the Goddess of Death taking you by the throat from behind, whispering softly in your ear: “Fairy tales are over. From now on, you’re mine—welcome to the world of fear and pain!”
