We already have a champion, you know. You'll probably have to challenge him to a Thunderdome.

Super Mario Bros 3

After a rigorous day of professional development from my county, I want to start the school year with this opening line: "Good morning. Welcome to 8th grade Language Arts. Lesson one: One day all of us will die."

That has nothing to do with me confirming my role, which I am now doing, but it was merely a thought I had.

there is only one hell:
the one we live in now
The woman hurried me into her carriage, and I was far too dazed to offer any resistance. She seemed to be in control of the vehicle, a "car" she called it, but I could see no means of propulsion other than a dull roar ahead of us and a gentle vibration throughout the... car. She asked where I had been, that I had a meeting with "the Ministers" in an hour, and she was worried sick for me after I failed to show up at the ceremony at the Arboretum.

She spoke in a flurry like rains in the Stormlands, and soon I was lost within the tempest, unable to follow anything she said anymore. She sensed my confusion, however, and decided to contact "my wife." Strangely enough it was those two words that woke me from my stupor and made me angrily demand she tell me what was going on. I have not married, nor have I desired marriage, not since Brandon sliced it out of me, and I suppose the thought of being coerced to marry anyone but Cat frightened me even more than this strange new world in which I find myself.

She pulled over to the side of the road and stopped the carriage, and, ignoring my question, began assailing me. "First you go missing, then you come back dressed in a robe like some sort of... of nerd wizard--" (I confess many of her words were strange and unknown to my ear, but that was intended to ring most harshly judging by her tone) "and now you act like you've never seen a car before and have no idea what we're doing here." I began telling her about my travels, that I tripped down a gully and woke up in this strange place, but she looked at me, aghast, as if I had sprouted dragon wings. She then took out a small black gewgaw, pressed a button, and spoke into it:

"Yeah, we have a problem. I found Tommy. He's acting like a lunatic, I think he may have hit his head or... or something. Are you home?" - I heard the mumbling of a voice coming from the box - "Okay, great. We'll be there in 15."

there is only one hell:
the one we live in now
We drove past many curious and bizarre sights: buildings with glass spires reaching up to the skies, higher than even the highest watchtowers in the Vale; shiny metal dragons, glinting in the sunlight; entire roads filled with dozens, hundreds of these "cars;" small cottages lined in rows that looked like loose reflections of the other.

It was in front of one of these last buildings that the carriage stopped. The woman exited and shuffled me out with her, dragging me by my arm across the lawn and to the door, knocking forcefully. I wondered whose home this must have been - I would have guessed a petty lord considering how trimmed were the hedges and grass, but there were so many. Is everyone in this land treated like nobility?

Another woman opened the door; she was wearing a pink blouse and thick blue pantaloons, as if she were a common peasant farmer. Yet my captor spoke to her as a friend:
"Hey Jen; here he is. He spent the entire ride over here gawking at planes."
The woman at the door kissed me, thanked "Terry," and led me inside.

I was overwhelmed by the sights and smells and contraptions littered even in just the foyer, but what shocked me most was a frame on the wall. It was a picture, but it was more life-like than any painting I had ever seen in all the Seven Kingdoms. It looked like I could just reach out and grasp the people smiling inside it.

Yet, one of them... was me.
