The silence was deafening… The awkward temperament, the stillness of the water was artificial and forlorn. Adam was beside himself with confusion and grief. The birds song seemed to repeat over and over as if it was part of a morning routine. Adam had never focused on such things before but the constant loneliness made his mind wander into the unknown. The fear overwhelmed him and his thirst for knowledge welled up inside him like a spring searching for the surface. After all, it seemed like yesterday that Lilith had assumed the same stature of that of Eve. Why the creator had put yet another inquisitive mind to partner with him? Adam, the first humanoid to his ignorance, felt out of place for the first time in his being. Feelings of disenchantment had set inside his heart. The burden of loneliness set in and the answers did not come from above, nor below.
