As the hurricane approached, residents were told to evacuate to higher ground.
Adrian was determined to stay put even when strong winds and rain had knocked down power lines leaving the entire island in the dark. For one reason or another, he thought it was the manly thing to do. Besides, he got nothing to lose but life under a domineering wife.
Suddenly, his musing was interrupted when he felt Helen’s presence in the glow of the kerosene lamp.
“What are you waiting for, Christmas?” she yelled. “Get your butt out there and let’s go!”
“Yes. dear,” he meekly replied.

The serpent encountered a sulking Eve during his daily ramble.
“Is something the matter?” he asked.
“Leave me alone. Mind your own business.”
“Talk to me. For your sanity, get off your chest what’s bothering you.”
“I need change.”
“Why so?” the serpent sounded perplexed. “You live in an idyll place surrounded by flowers and nature at its best.“
“That’s exactly the problem,” she sighed. “It’s too perfect. There’s no room for anything else.”
“How does Adam feel about it?”
“He doesn’t care a hoot. He loves things as they are.”
“I can see conflict brewing.”
“You better believe it.”
