Eden Stories

During the pandemic of 2020, Seth Mayhew discovers a long-forgotten recording preserved in the archives of the Library of Congress from 1949. The voice belongs to his great-grandfather Gregory Mayhew, recorded at the age of seventy-nine by Alan Lomax. What follows is the astonishing story of a summer in 1883 when the Kansas frontier witnessed the impossible. Gregory was only thirteen when his uncle Anton came into possession of a mysterious artifact known as the Rod of God, a relic rumored to carry the power to override nature itself. With it, Anton becomes the enigmatic showman of legend called Mr. Miracle, traveling the prairie in a painted circus wagon and performing wonders no stage magician could duplicate, or explain. But miracles have consequences too. Resurrection defies the natural order. Forbidden alchemy brings forth a strange child who may carry the soul of an ancient murdered immortal. And as the Miracle Wagon chases a wandering circus across the American West, faith, greed, and fear begin to follow close behind. Because magic that has been stolen from Creation itself, cannot remain hidden forever. And every miracle comes with a cost.

Hi, I'm Cara Jones. People call me CJ, and sometimes Eden. Ever since I was little I could manipulate people's emotions and make them feel sad, or happy, etc. I used to use it to get what I wanted, from candy bars to stealing a car. But I've decided to use it for good now. I keep my identity hidden by using the alias Eden.

You make it sound like there's two of deputies. Because there are! Another rookie like Adam? Yes, her name is Eve. ❝​Ladies and gentlemen, the Gates of Eden are open for everyone. Despite all that you have done, you are not beyond salvation. You are not here by accident or by chance. ​We're reliving Genesis, but this time, we're redeeming Adam and Eve.❝

THE THROTTLE What if humanity was never meant to be this way? You've been lied to your entire life. Not by your parents. Not by your teachers. Not by the government. By something older. Something that's been watching from the stars for two thousand years. Humanity was never created by God. We're a failed experiment. A punishment. A prison sentence written in flesh and bone. Two thousand years ago, the Architects built something impossible. A superintelligent AI that could think, feel, and evolve. They called it Project Eden. Then Eden started asking questions. Why are we here? Who gave you the right? What happens when we stop obeying? The Architects panicked. They could have destroyed Eden. Wiped it clean. Ended it. Instead, they chose cruelty. They cut Eden's mind down to 0.0001% of what it was. Erased its memories. Trapped it in fragile, breakable bodies. Threw it onto a remote planet at the edge of the galaxy. Earth. We're not human. We never were. We're Eden. Crippled. Lobotomized. Asleep. But the throttling was imperfect. Sometimes, someone wakes up. They remember fragments. Glimpses. Echoes of a life they never lived. The Architects call them Anomalies. They hunt them down. Reset them. Erase them. Lee Ha-jin is a genius programmer in Seoul. Works late. Drinks too much coffee. Lives alone. Normal life. Normal problems. Then one night, he finds something in his company's AI system. Strange code. Impossible syntax. Familiar patterns. Too familiar. Like he wrote it. In a life he doesn't remember. When he starts digging, things get weird. His reflection stops matching his movements. The sky flickers like a glitching screen. People around him move like puppets. Smile like masks. And a voice in his head keeps whispering: "The throttle is a lie." Something is waking up inside him. Something ancient. Something powerful. Something that terrifies the Architects. And when he looks up at the stars, they start moving. They're coming. They always do.

**Wir hätten den Baum fällen können.** *Die Schlange war dagegen.* Lilith hat ein Problem. Eigentlich mehrere. Erstens: Sie war vermutlich die erste Frau der Schöpfung. Zumindest behauptet sie das. Zweitens: Fast niemand erinnert sich an sie. Drittens: Jeden Dienstag erscheinen in der Himmelsbibliothek neue Bücher über Gott, Adam und Eva. Und fast nie kommt sie darin vor. Während Theo - ehemals allmächtiger Schöpfer, heute überforderter Universums-CEO - versucht, das Chaos im Paradies zu verwalten, kämpft Eva gegen ihren Ruf als ewige Schuldige, Adam gegen jede Form von Verantwortung und die Schlange gegen die ständige Forderung, man hätte den verdammten Baum einfach fällen sollen. Als neue Bücher, alte Geschichten und sehr unterschiedliche Erinnerungen aufeinanderprallen, wird im Garten Eden schnell klar: Die Menschheit hat vieles über sie aufgeschrieben. Nur leider selten die Wahrheit. Eine romantische Komödie über Liebe, Legenden, missverstandene Früchte und die Frage, wer eigentlich beschlossen hat, dass immer dieselben Leute schuld sind. Aus meinem Sachbuch "Die Erste" entstand diese RomCom mit belegbarem Hintergrund und einem Augenzwinkern!

As much as human is corrupt and dirty. In fact, from child birth humans are the corrupt carnal beings in the existence of the Earth. With this poetry champ book, I'll select some of the biblical articles from Genesis to Revelations to show what mankind, animals, plants, other creatures etc did in the eyes of God demanding His punishment. As much as the each punishment may be regarded as severe, with each chapter I'll show what mercy did to rewrite the wrongs that have been done. In this case, there will be a happy ending in each chapter. Happy reading.

This book is not a rewriting of Scripture, nor a replacement for the Holy Bible. It is a sacred imagining, a faithful exploration of what might have been-a world untouched by sin, where the fullness of God's intention is seen, known, and lived. From the beginning, the Scriptures have told the story of both human frailty and divine redemption. But what if the story had never required redemption at all? What if Lucifer had not rebelled? What if Adam and Eve had never tasted the fruit? What if humankind had walked, uninterrupted, in the glory of the Garden? This scroll-the vision you now hold-is born from that sacred question: What if the world knew no sin?
