The Fall

What is happening? I... I... feel... something. Wait. I feel. I. I am.

What was in that thing?

She looks around her, Lush forest surrounds on all sides. In her hand is a small fruit, which she pulls in for inspection.

What are you? What am I? WHAT IS ALL THIS?

It was supposed to kill her.

If I'm not dead now... I wonder what He'll do when He finds

out

I...

She runs, hoping to find her husband in time. Before He came.

********************

You're in a real hurry for some reason.

You don't understand. You have never understood. Trust me and eat this.

Okay.

And he ate of the fruit.

What was that?

The one we aren't supposed to eat.

Oh no no No No NO NO.

Ever heard someone actually scream at the top of their lungs?

What are you afraid of?

It's supposed to...

How do you feel right now?

I feel... fine?

Do you feel like you are dying? Do you hurt anywhere?

No. We need protection. Because if this didn't kill us, then...

He is going to kill us.

********************

Take this, I put it together out of the thicker leaves. I think it might help a bit.

Against what, a bad breeze?

Hey, it's something.

They heard Him call for them. Something they used to look forward to every day. Now it brought terror.

Hide!

They used to play a kind of game with Him like this. But not like this.

Where are you?

Here!

Where were you?

We were hanging out in the garden out back.

We felt embarrassed to keep showing up in front of you naked, so we wanted to make clothes so we could better...

Naked? How did you learn a word like that?
