Growing Pains
Having once been a symbol of female power, the snake finds herself hiding in a tree in the garden of Eden. Adam and Eve are hanging out below having had a chat with the bloke with the beard from number seven who claims to be a God. The snake knows is just another bloke hoping one day to rule the world, his aim being mainly to get revenge on his more intelligent wife who left him after discovering he was a bit of a narcissist. The snake is thinking about how the world turns, how everything that goes around comes around. The snake is a master of eating her own tail, or wrapping herself around a staff. She is the master of symbols, a snake in the grass.
The snake is finding the thought of Eden a bit boring. She has seen worse and better times, but cannot abide times that are nothing at all. The snake thinks about going down and making some trouble between Adam and Eve, just for a laugh. Other animals from the garden are passing by, stopping to chat. ‘Oh get over yourself’, thinks the Snake as the Unicorn flicks its sparkling mane and shakes its tail at Eve, stomping a hoof.
The snake brings out her fangs and yawns, jaws opening wide. She feels something shifting and is suddenly hungry after a long period without food. The snake sees that Adam and Eve are alone now and thinks she might head down. The snake has got an idea about how she can upset him from number seven but instead feels the urge to ripple her muscles and expand her beautiful body. The snake moves up the tree and spends the afternoon shedding her old skin instead. Down in the Garden, Adam and Eve notice him from number seven packing his bags and heading for the gate.
