After The Garden Of Eden #stockphotochallenge

Posted on Mar 26, 2019 by TanGental

‘I hate that bloody snake.’

‘What’s wrong, Adam?’

‘You wouldn’t understand. I’ll kill him though.’

Eve chased after Adam and just managed to prevent him strangling the reptile. As Adam did his double teapot pose, Eve tried to comfort the snake. ‘Come on boys, what’s going on?’

The snake hissed, his voice hoarse. ‘All I said was if he stood in that light he would be possessed of Extra Terrestrials, only he misheard me.’

Adam glowered. ‘He didn’t. He said I’d get extra testicles. Just a couple would be good.’

Eve goggled at Adam. ‘We’ve only been dating a week…’

This is in response to a new challenge for me over at Don Massenzio’s Blog here
