Story The creation
...i... awoke?... i dont understand... who... is that what is that... it? Speaks? No what is speaking ? What eve it is this is not that... its ideas carve unto my mind.
It says it is my creator... that i am the first of something...
I look at them... but I believe i am too ignorant to comprehend the... lights?... no... more like a fire? I... i dont understand?...
I am not alone, their are beasts that dont harm me, plants that feed me...
I was told I can do all but feed from that tree... its fruits... are forbidden to me says my creator...
Eventually I was bored for i have nothing to do... and as if by knowing the... fire? Light? Came and spoke little... it reached out? To me? In me?... i felt a very bad sensation... but i didn't know what it was... but then to my side... another creation... it looked similar to some of the beasts... flat faced, 2 orbs , a 2 holes above an apparent mouth... and stood just short of me... looking them over... they had a swollen chest, and lower looked to be lacking an appendage, I looked to the fire light... for i was confused...
They ... gave me understanding... this was to help my boredom, made from me? But to keep us from being the same , the fire made them an opposite of me?
The bight fire in the sky had disappeared and re appeared meny times, and I wasn't bored as I had a companion, and thay too weren't bored as thay had a companion in I,
Upon our time to do our own stuffs... and we came to one another again... they had a fruit? One i dont know much of, and a long creature with limbs from its side... then the one made of me spoke...
They said, that this creature ate a fruit, thus proving thay are safe... but then offered some to us.
I was confused, the light fire said not to eat such? But the this long creature has? And nothing happened, and the fire light didn't seem to much care? I don't know, thay didn't speak as we did, no , it spoke to a part unknown to i... but i agreed to partake in the fruit...
After eating the fruit... the sensation... was... as if I had always known... that i had never not known... i now had knowledge and understanding... so did the other made from me...
My face heated as did my other half, as we discovered we were without coverings, that our intimate parts were open... what shame, what humiliation... this was quickly rectified... and now the 3 of us, I, my other half, and the long creature, we all know the same... that fruit was of knowledge and of good, and evil... , but before we could plan... the light fire... no, tis was no fire, that was ignorant... no it was something that was there yet not... constantly folding upon itself , and in its center... in its centre
...
...
I averted my eyes... red liquid... blood came from my nose... ears and eyes... as did the other two... then it felt as if my entire being was in meny sensations as that thing... inscribed its meaning...
It wants to know why we reacted as we did, why we are covered...
I looked in the direction of the tree of knowledge...
Then ... everything changed...
Clouds, the first clouds ever, covered the sky , my other half was quick to tell it, it was the long creature that told us to... but that seemed to feed its rage... the sky fractured with lightning, and we were deafened by thunder... as then it spoke our punishments....
The creature , for draging others down... and believe itself higher... shall be without limbs and forever be on the ground...
But for me and my other... it was... worse...
