Zoe now focused on the unique tree in front of them. Its roots were not only spread deep but also spanned countless miles on end, as evidenced by the ruptured earth that passed between her and Adam’s feet.
“My goodness, have you ever beheld something that possessed this much grandeur?” were the words of an awestruck Adam.
“It truly is magnificent.”
“I’m going to do a bit more of exploring. If you need anything, I’ll just be over the hill down in the meadow.” He turned to leave.
Esoteric one.
“Who – ?” Zoe looked down at her arm, only to discover that the serpent had disappeared.
Yes, who? was the reply of a voice, whose location she could not yet discern–until she noticed the shimmering scaly reflection of several coils tightly wrapped around the lower boughs of the tree and the head of which looked on with eerie approval.
Take of the fruit my dear Zoe, for once you do you will achieve a state that you had once thought to be unattainable.
“Which is what?”
The serpent smiled coyly.
Apotheo-sissss…

I get that feeling of watching a movie and wanting to scream at the screen and tell her to not listen…to ignore the hissing serpent, run to Adam. And yet I know she can’t hear me. Yet I want to yell anyway lol!!
I enjoyed this greatly.
