This does not describe a room at all. It only describes creatures, which you did a great job at. The story leaves the reader clueless ( I should say this reader). Not quite sure what you are trying to get across.

Good luck on your contest

Hi
This is a long list of real and imaginary monsters that might be in hell.
It really doesn't have a story to it. I like that you put our present politicians in this mix.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great rest of the day and week.
Good luck in the contest.

This is the third time I've seen you reuse this same list (or very similar list) for the bulk of your entry in a horror contest. I think it is not good practice to recycle stuff over and over.

Hello Anon,

This is a neat idea, I just think your punctuation and spelling need to be looked at. These are small, correctable points, but uncorrected they distract, and detract from the reading.

In an old abandoned house in Eagle Point, Oregon [,] high above the town, overlooking the rougue [do you mean 'rogue' or perhaps 'rouge' ?] river running beneath the house, at o dakr [I can't say I understand the meaning of 'o dakr' if it isn't a typo, maybe explain in your notes] hundred, a bell is rung , [if you meant the comma, the 'and' is lower-case] And a portal opens to the other world, [ditto] And monsters [ you need a dash here -- to announce your following list]

As I say, neat list with a funny pay off line, but you need to look at the opening section, I think.
I wish you well with your continued writing.
Cheers

phill
