As night approached, Adam and Eve found refuge under the bridge to protect them from the winter cold.

Shivering in the dark, Eve started to cry feeling sorry for their circumstances.

“It was my fault for getting us kicked out from the shelter. I shouldn‘t have eaten an apple without permission.”

“It’s all in the past,” Adam said trying to comfort her. “As long as we have each other, we’ll do fine.”

Adam cuddled and kissed her. Then one thing led to another until it happened. For one brief moment, they experienced peace and everything was alright with the world.

Evicted from the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve faced more challenges than they could ever imagine.

Far from the ideal place they used to know, they now found themselves living in a world filled with danger and uncertainties.

Emerging from the woods, they had just outrun a pack of wolves eager to eat them alive.

Hungry and tired, they rested under a tree and gazed at the immense savanna before them.

“Omigosh, you’re so naked!” Eve exclaimed as she looked at Adam sweating profusely in the summer heat.

“Look who’s talking,” he replied. “Let’s go find some fig leaves.”

It was a house sitting next to the old cemetery where other kids chose not to go trick-or-treating.

“It was dark with no lights on,“ Morgan’s sister said. “Maybe we shouldn’t.“

“Don’t be a scaredy cat.”

Morgan rang the doorbell a few times, but nobody answered the door. Instead, they saw creepy eyes peering behind the curtains. Or was it just their imagination?

Then they heard a cat yowling on the roof.

That was it. The two siblings took it as a bad omen and hurriedly left.

Being new to the neighborhood, they didn’t realize it was an abandoned property.
