it actually made me think of Coketown, or some other city circa the industrial revolution
That's pretty much what I was going for. The notion of hell as a big pit where you're just burning all the time sounds more tedious than terrifying. To me, hell would be a mix of endless toil and the despair of eternal uselessness. In other words, not unlike real life, only without even the hope of death's release. LOL, I'm cheerful, aren't I?
I’m trying to figure out who Sin/Mary is… Lilith? I’m probably off by a country mile, but anyway, don’t spoil me!
Okay, then DO NOT read the comments downthread because I explain where this depiction of Sin came from.
I really want this to end with him and Dean in a hot bath with lots of bubbles and a bottle of Jack to share, but somehow I doubt that will happen.
