The last thing Tom remembered was the screech of tires before everything went black. When he came to, he found himself in an underground tunnel, cold air swirling around him.
“Grandma?” He whispered, squinting through a familiar figure in the darkness. “I thought you were dead.”
“Yes, Moonpie. It’s me.”
“I’m so sorry… I took money from you for ice cream.”
Grandma smiled gently. “Don’t you think I didn’t know? Give me some credit.”
“I’m scared,” Tom said, his voice trembling.
“Shhh. No need to fear.” She held out her hand. “Come with me. I’ll lead you to the light.”

It was a hot summer day in the Garden of Eden. As usual, Eve saw her better half napping under the tree. She decided to spare herself from his snoring for a change.
Eve thought of bathing in the nearby river, but hesitated when she saw a group of monkeys already enjoying themselves. Just as she was about to turn away, their leader waved her over. “Come on in!” he called. “The water’s perfect!”
With a smile, Eve shrugged off her doubts and slipped into the cool, refreshing river. She felt free and joyful, surrounded by friends in nature’s embrace.

The Purple Tree

In the garden, there stood a tree unlike any other. The serpent took it as its residence and colored it purple to differentiate it from the rest.
Eve was scared of the serpent at first. A chance meeting, however, changed that. She found it friendly, accommodating, and welcoming, like a good neighbor.
Adam was suspicious of the serpent and warned Eve not to get too close, but Eve just ignored him.
The purple tree would soon bear fruit, and God had instructed them not to eat it. The serpent had a say about it, though. And the rest was history.
