WOMAN= W/O MAN

Adam was sad. God gave him everything he could imagine but still, he was so sad. He wanted to talk to someone so badly. He wanted to share all these wonderful gifts with someone. He felt so empty and alone. He wanted to ask God to make him another one like him, but he thought it would be too selfish of him to ask for more.

But God, being the all-knowing that He is, understood Adam and plucked one of his rib.
“Ouch, that hurts a lot!”, complained Adam.
God in His mighty trascending voice replied, ” I took one of your rib so that with the pain, you’ll never forget how bad you needed someone. That you should always take good care of this gift, for this creature has a part of yourself”

And with one stroke of hand, a beautiful creature appeared before Adam. Adam was so happy that he forgot to thank God with this wonderful gift. His hormones instantly went wild seeing the captivating body of this new creature before him. He immediately led her in one of the dark hidden places in paradise and passionately made love to her. It is there in that evening, amidst his moaning, Adam felt a need to shout the creature’s name. But she didn’t have a name. So he named her, Eve.

Weeks passed and Adam got tired of making love to Eve. He also got so tired of Eve’s non-stop need to talk. He wandered off and asked her to keep their home neat and clean while he’s out. Adam got so engrossed with hunting and swimming and never came back to their home for a long time.

Meanwhile, Eve boredom suddenly grew. She wanted someone to talk to. So, she decided to look for Adam. Unfortunately, she landed on the restricted area in the paradise. It is here where she saw an apple tree with a talking snake. She was so happy to find someone to whom she can talk to again. So happy, that she even agreed to eat one of the fruits in the forbidden tree.

As soon as Eve took a bite from the fruit, an alarm went off all over paradise that caught the attention of Adam, who was fighting with one of the lions. He started running to find Eve. And when he saw her, God was already there, talking to Eve.

Adam got a bit apprehensive upon seeing God. “Where were you, Adam?” God calmly asked Adam. “Didn’t I tell you to take care of this gift very well?”

Adam said in a very scared voice. “I just went out for a walk, God. Eve and I are spending way too much time with each other. I thought, we both could use some space.”

“Some space?” God asked. “Didn’t I give you an infinite space before, yet, you asked for someone to share it with?”

Adam knew God was right and he was so embarrased of what has transpired.

“Adam, do you want me to take Eve away from you?”, Asked God.

Adam wasn’t really certain about his answer. But he remembered the passionate and happy times that he had with Eve. So he replied, “No God, please don’t take Eve away from me. I promise to take care of her from now on.”

God nodded and turned to Eve and asked, “Eve, would you want to stay with Adam?”

Eve, surprised, that God asked her about her opinion, stammered and ask. “Ahhh…errr….Can I keep the talking snake, God?”

God nodded..”Yes, you may do so, Eve.”

And with that permission from God, Eve’s face brightened up and walked towards Adam. “It was nice knowing you, Adam.”

Adam never saw Eve again. And because she has one of his ribs, Adam felt even more incomplete for the rest of his life.
