Produced by Suzanne Shell, Renald Levesque and the PG Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Les Portes de l'Enfer" by Maurice Level is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The narratives delve into themes of loss, grief, and the darker aspects of human nature, exploring the psychological turmoil of characters confronting their past. The opening of "Les Portes de l'Enfer" introduces a poignant scene where a man reminisces about the devastating loss of his beloved, detailing his emotional struggle and the memories that haunt him. The candlelit room sets a somber atmosphere, as the protagonist reflects on the brief time he spent with her, grappling with his sense of solitude. This moment leads to an intense exploration of grief when he contemplates developing a photograph of her taken posthumously, which triggers both a yearning for her presence and a harrowing realization of his own despair. The narrative captures his turbulent emotions as he seeks solace in memories while confronting the brutality of death.
