Adam and Eve - Before the Fall

Operation Name Creations

I was running out of breathe, she was fast running through these woods. I tried to keep up with her, Toelicker was even ahead of me. We had named many creatures, and she was naming them more than actually suggesting. The helper  I thought to myself. I felt more introverted around her graceful, bold and reassuring words.

"Eve!" I called out for her to come back, "Eve, stop! come back!"

She reluctantly returned to me with standard breathing and fresh skin as if we had not just run 3 miles.

"Dodo!" She looked at a new bird and 'suggested' a name.

"Yes, ok. Dodo." I agreed, "I'm tired, we must take a break."

"Oh..." She walked up closer to me, "Okay."

"Yes, what will you be doing?"

"I need to get something for us to eat. We must figure out how to eat." She looked around the garden and at Toelicker.

"The trees have good fruit." I pointed at one, "Do you want some? I could get for you."

"Okay." She blushed. I led the path to the tree, gathering strength to climb a bit up. "Have you done this before, man?"

"Not to climb. I have only had to reach out or take from the bushes."

I set my foot on the indented texture pattern of the tree, then i hopped up and grabbed a branch, it was too light to hold my weight so it broke. I removed the bunch of yellow fruits and gave it to her which she was grateful for.

We sat down inside a nicely structured cave, and the orange sunset light bloomed in the space. She put her head on my shoulder and closed her eyes while she spoke.

"Adam...why were you created?"

"That's a question only the Creator can answer." I replied, "He had the power to, so why not?"

"Yes, but who created him?" She said in a more quiet tone, maybe she didn't want Dad to hear.

"The ultimate Creator needs not to be created. He has always been, Eve." I looked at her slender fingers. She was analyzing them, seemingly comparing them to mine.

"True. He must have been alone before now." She adjusted her weight on me. Almost immediately, Dad walked into the cave with a bunch of sticks and logs of wood cradled in his arms.

She stood up and helped him with some, laying it unto the floor. We were silent now, and I worried He might have heard Eve. Dad gestured for me to sit closer, we formed a circle around the sticks and looked at him eagerly.

"Light." He gestured to the wood. "What happens when the sun goes down?"

"It gets very dark, I cannot find my way."

" You are light, because He who formed you is Light." He smiled, the day was getting darker, and I couldn't see Eve's features very well. "In my presence, you cannot loose your path."

Suddenly, his face shone and lit the whole cave white bright light. Eve became elated but turned away from. such glory, even my eyes couldn't withstand such light.

"Come, both of you. Let's make fire."

Father grabbed log and a stick, I and Eve did the same. Next up, Dad rubbed the tip of the stick on the log and I felt some heat. Smoke rose and a spark lead to a flaming log of wood. I did mine just as he did, and It worked. Eve couldn't, so I placed my hands over hers and helped her to create it. It worked.

She sat around for a few more hours and talked about the world and he taught us a few things. I was a bit shy and reserved, so Eve did the humble questioning. I sat assumed by her soft voice, springing forth immaculate words delicate to my ears.

Toelicker cuddled up to me, and then remembered the naming. I took it outside and sat at the edge of the cave, staring into the moon. I thought for a name for an hour straight before I came up with the perfect acronym for Cleaned Adam's Toes. Toelicker will be named Cat and would be the greatest creature of the garden. Cat. It sounded elegant and short, I was sure generations to come would love it's nature.

When I walked back into the cave, they were still speaking. So I sat inside and listened to each and every word.
