Adam and Steve (2690 words)
Adam enjoyed his job and especially liked walking with Yahweh in the cool of the evening, but he was always on edge cause Yahweh seemed so easily ticked off.
So he cast Adam into sleep and took a bone from his side and fashioned a woman to be Adam's helper and mate.
Clay and Steve always invited the cute gay boys and the sissies and the tomboy girls to come back without their parents so they could be instructed in the secrets of cultivating the Garden.
The (Real) Story of Adam and Eve (1987 words)
So loud was their weeping, however, that Steve and Sara heard no answer, and in their grief they went to the tree at the centre of the Garden and ate of the fruit there, hoping desperately that this "wisdom" would bring them the children that God had said they should make.
Steve and Sara agreed to make their seperate dwellings at either side of the Garden so that they might ponder the world individually for a time, meeting occassionally to talk over the things that they had thought and to help gather the food they would need.
And so the children of Adam and Eve grew into adulthood, and joined with one another to create more life, and so on and so on til the world was well populated with their kind--so that the joining of close kin was no longer necessary for the creation of new life.
