These is an idea I had the other day and I liked the image. I don't plan on writing this into anything or expanding on it, but I wanted to write down these scattered ideas. It's not in any way fleshed out or developed, just sketches of something interesting. It's not something that's fleshed out in any way, complete or developed beyond an outline.
Imagine your body as more cavernous, roomy. Remove the guts & blood & bone & muscle. Deconstruct the insides to rebuild it as Hell. Remove the limbs, there's no running, no grabbing on to where it hurts.
The head: Entrapped in a prison of the skull, souls are entwined in the labyrinth of nerves running through the brain. Electric currents pumping through them endlessly. This is the punishment for Pride.
Gluttons get a buffet. They get to choose to dine on snot & boogers or saliva & vomit. The gluttons in the mouth are stuck between the teeth like a popcorn kernel, eternally begin gnashed and chewed. All the while being assaulted by bad breath. The demon in charge is the tongue, often swallowing itself to induce vomit.
The gluttons in the nose can see their freedom, they forever swim against a flow of snot being sniffed back. The sniffing takes out all of the air from the orifice, as if a vacuum being held up to the lungs. Unable to breath, the souls take in snot. The demons in charge are the impish nose hairs, prickling the souls & flogging them with their boogery bodies.
The eyes are the punishment for Envy. The demon in charge is the pupil, looking inward at the souls floating in the goopy orb. The souls are stuck re-watching, reliving the collective sorrows of the other souls with them.
The ears belong to Wrath. Unable to move in the bitter earwax they are drowning in, their own ears become hypersensitive to every sound, like a nail being hammered into the side of their head. The demon in charge is the eardrum, constantly banging on himself to cause booming reverberations, to cause screams.
Greed gets the gut. Boiling, melting, dissolving in the vat of stomach acid.
And reigning over the slimy, cavernous flesh, suspended in the center of the Hell entity is Satan: The Heart
The gluttonous being eternally pumping, thrusting, providing the rivers of blood that connect every damnation. Each new soul entering through his ventricles, distributed to their fitting torture.
