Hey, readers! This is what you call a 26-sentence story. Each sentence begins with a different letter of the alphabet, starting with "A,"then, "B," and so on (excluding "X").
ALL WAS BEAUTIFUL, it truly was. Blue skies went on endlessly. Clouds puffed slowly over the deep blue skies. Death was unknown and sorrow never entered this world.
Eve’s sin changed it all. Faith forgotten, she ate of the forbidden fruit and plunged the world into darkness.
God’s sorrow was deep. He no longer enjoyed the relationship he once had with his creation.
Innocence forgotten, the world crumbled. Justice was enacted. Keeping their sins in mind, God killed a lamb to clothe them, seeing they could no longer live as they once did. Left with no choice, God barred them from the garden. Mouths agape, with tears running down their faces, they left the only home they ever knew. Never again, would they set eyes on their beloved garden.
Oh, how Adam longed for those bygone days, but nothing he could do would give them back. Perfect life was gone.
Quitting his work every day, Adam’s thoughts turned to when he could just reach up and food would be there. Resting in the shade of a tree he looked up, remembering the great trees of the garden.
Sitting there on the dry, thirsty ground, Adam cursed himself for letting Eve eat the fruit. The thought that he could never again walk with his creator on this earth grieved him. Until his death, his creator’s face was hidden from him.
Vexed and grieved as he was, he could not forget the joy he had felt in the garden. When God would come, the rest of the world faded away and seemed unimportant, because truly, it was. Expectations of joy and love, even hunger was fulfilled when Adam was with God. “Yesterday was good,” Adam would tell Eve, “but today is even better.” Zenith of life, thought Adam, now in the present and walking back to his hut, the zenith of life.
