Wonder… delight… ignite, explode within! Magenta, cyan, yellows swirl… Euphrates joins her three quicksilver sisters… rushing past my ambling feet. Havilah‘s golden nuggets rest alongside onyx. Luscious fruit drips exquisite nectar... cottonwool lambs frolic with frisky lion cubs. All mine to enjoy… except… eyes linger; hand outstretched… just one bite?

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

Author’s Note: I hope it’s obvious that the Bible’s Garden of Eden is this story’s context!

Written for: The Story of Humanity, Kayleigh Fraser Unofficial challenge (50 words exactly).

I first learnt of the challenge while reading JBaz’s story (see below) & was inspired by it.
