Dammit...I forgot to mention this:
The title confuses the heck out of me. What "Unity" is "Gone" exactly? Maybe I'm just confused :)

I'm going to be completely honest here...hope that's not a problem.
I almost didn't read past the first sentence, because it was a run-on, and I'm a little anal about things like that. I'm a grammar whore--sue me :)
But--getting past that, I found the concept highly interesting. There is potential here, for certain. My advice would be:
1) Sit down and re-write the story from word one. Sounds like a lot, sure, but it's the best way to get a fresh perspective. Look into the characters a little more deeply--make the ones you hate a little bit likeable, and the ones you like a little bit nasty. Explore their thoughts, rather than just their actions. Let the reader know who the main character is and what makes him tick. Even in a short story, it's important for the reader to give a shit.
2) Explore the possibility of expanding on some of the ideas in the story--maybe a flashback showing what assholes Darrel and the others are. It might help to add a little addition like extending the sequence where he arrives in hell. Perhaps a "waking up" sort of sequence where Jack has no idea where he is, with some nice surreal descriptions, before contacting the other men who have joined him in hell.
This little story has promise, there's no doubt about that. If you have the time to rework it, I'd love to see the end result.

This looks like one of those things you write when you're bored and have 5 minutes to kill.
