Cool. This one seems open-ended. I like open-ended, it reaps a lot of diverse images. That is assuming that we are talking about any old abyss and not the movie. So it this any abyss, or the movie? Just to clarify -- of course, I'll probably kick myself for asking this. abyss (n) 1. An unfathomable chasm; a yawning gulf. 2. An immeasurably profound depth or void. 3.a. The primeval chaos out of which it was believed that the earth and sky were formed. b. The abode of evil spirits; hell.
