Flash Fiction: The Fall - Stefn Sylvester Anyatonwu

'Not again, please. Must you do this everyday?' Adam protested.

'I'll make it snappy, my lord. I hear rumours of new creatures'

His stomach rumbles. He gives in. She stoops beside him, her breasts brushing his ribs.

One... two…

ten... eleven…

thirteen...eighteen...

She counted until she got the last rib.

'Aha! Complete' She affirmed. Satisfied.

Adam exhaled, shook his head and requested for his meal.

'Under the mango tree, my love... fruit salad today. I bet you'll love it'.

Famished and weary of her now increasingly annoying jealousy, he sprawled on the grass, ready to shove ‘em fruits down his throat.

'How long will this continue? Ehn?'

He grumbles and picks a slice of cucumber. Takes a bite and munches care freely. Fragments sprinting off his mouth as he grumbles on...

'Must she count my ribs every day?'

He wondered why Eve’s this jealous? There ain't no other female human for godsake. He could bet Eve counts his ribs everyday to see if another woman have been created.

He picks a green slice of apple and munches.

I'm weary of this. Ogini di?

Munching...

'Hmmm...This fruit tastes...hmmm... honey, your culinary skills improved overnight?'

Munching... It tastes different. Sweet. Unusual.

'yummy. What fruit is this?’ Adam queried.

'Eat, my lord' She whispered with a wry grin.

Adam munches on. Adam looks down... on his plate. Blinks twice. Wipes eyes.

'Jesus!'

He pulls grasses over his groin.

Eve is startled. 'Adie, you scare me. What's it?'

Adam turns to her... His eyes widened. He notices her bare breasts for the first time.

'Jesus! EVE!'

=================================

Meanwhile few trees away, the Serpent is having a good laugh.

'Perfect! They ate it!'

He wagged his tail in lusty excitement, middle finger in the air.

The End.

Fiction | The Tripod Effect

THE TRIPOD EFFECT The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the surrogate father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife and said, "I'm off. The man should be here soon" Half an hour later, just by chance a door- to-door baby photographer rang the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. "Good morning, madam. I've come to...." "Oh, no need to explain. I've been expecting you," Mrs. Smith cut in. "Really?" the photographer asked. "Well, good. I've made a speciality of babies" "That's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat" After a moment, she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?" "Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is fun too; you can really spread out!" "Bathtub, living room floo...

RIP: Return If Possible (Ode to my High School crush)

She would wink at me from the corner of her eyes. She would dare to slap the tallest in my class if he dares bully me for penning his name in my list of noise makers. She would share her pen when mine is spent. She would help me take notes when sick I lay in bed. She played my advocate even when I least deserve it. Her height, though intimidating earned more of my admiration. Her fingers Her palms though long and bold compared to my petite own were my favourite to hold. She was loud and noisy not never made the list. She would speak Igbo and wink 'you dare not write my name' Her drawings, I did when others I snub. JSS 3 to SSS 1 I crushed on this pretty girl But I was too shy to ink that poem. I left without letting you know how much I care. Had no time to appreciate your kind gestures undeserved defense... You were my crush. Augusta, When I found first Facebook you were the first I searched to add... In vain I searched You were not found. I stalked the walls of our cl...

Featured Poem: What Happens When A Poet Falls In Love - by Martin Deep

Dusk brings the charms to my lips It would seem. The moon is here and My tongue is ripe with whispers. I can whisper now For my eyes are weary From telling poetry. How you were enchanted with the rhyme my sighs poured when I touched your fountain head! The candles have gone all out The muse has drunk up the oil of the lamp to the last droplet. The innocent wigs dies noiselessly. Is this what happens when a poet falls in love? That my trashcan becomes the graveyard for my pen That lay like thankless knights That have bled to please their mistress for quests unsent. Is this what happens when a poet falls in love? That the innocence of papers are stolen? How so many have cried in the merciless flames sentenced thus 'bearers of unworthy words' So pure our love is my love. So true. A cherub perhaps is ravished and he cries to God to have him be our ring bearer . What other fulfillment is greater than our spirits soaring in each other's eyes? Is this what happens when a poet fal...
