What’s That Sound?

Posted on April 9, 2019 by J. E. Marksteiner

Adam was awakened by a sound he had never heard before. Opening his eyes, he saw his new spouse chewing on something, something forbidden!

“What are you doing? We aren’t supposed to eat that!”

“I know, but I was hungry and … there it was. He’ll never miss just one. And, besides, now I know why he didn’t want us to eat it – it’s really good. I think I’ll have another one.”

“No …” moaned Adam. “This is the beginning of the end.”
