Call That A Sin.
By prosperity
29 April 2005
Did you ever think what really happened in the garden of Eden.  Just how did Eve get Adam to take that first bite.

Narrator;  Born, Stained with original sin. Now there's a thing original sin. How original can you get.? What sorry souls we are having to pay a price to be born.
Original sin, or Adam and Eve lolling about in a garden, Nothing to do, no weeds no planting no designing, The days before the Diarmuid Gavins and Ground Force teams. No all ready made by God the master gardner.
So what's a body to do? There's only so much reading a body can do, and were there books back in the days of creation? Swing from tree to tree, but then again had not Adam and Eve learnt to stand on their own two feet.!  Smell the roses and hope not to get hay fever. Chat about their day. Imagine.

Eve;   How'd your day go Adam?

Adam;  Fine and your day?

Eve;    Same. Any news Adam?

Adam;  Nah not since i was talking to you last. You any?

Eve;      Oh I have a bit.

Adam;    You have!

Eve;        Yeah I was down at the apple tree today. You know the one that we're not to touch. Well i went down just to look at it. And guess what happened, oh Adam you'll never guess.  Well .......... I..... met ... a....snake....

Adam;      A snake what's a snake?

Eve;         Like a worm, wriggly more colourful much bigger and seductive. He was curled around one of the branches of the tree. Anyway he spoke to me.
'Hi Eve' he said in a rasping haunting voice. I looked into his eyes they were real hypnotic like.
'You have a beautiful garden here' he says uncurling. 'And beautiful apples. They taste so sweet and juicy.'
God Adam my mouth was watering for one of those red hard apples. He must have known by my face that I hadn't tasted one.
'Oh Eve' says him, you don't know what they taste like, do you?'
No says I you see God that's the man who owns this place. Well he told us not to touch this apple tree.
'He did!'
Yeah he says that if we do he'll kick us out.
'Now Eve do you really think he'd kick you out, and where is he at this moment? Surely Eve he wouldn't miss one apple, just one little apple from so many.
But he said not to, he says he is watching us.
'Now Eve don't be silly. If he's not living in the garden how can he see you? It's not as if he has eyes in the back of his head is it? Think about it Eve how can he know.? I won't tell promise.'
Well Adam you have to admit he made perfect sense.

Adam;    But Eve he warned us.

Eve;        Oh Adam don't be such a worrier. Anyways your man the snake well he said;
'go on Eve just touch it, feel it the smoothness the silkiness of the skin. Smell it Eve let it flow through your senses. Closer Eve closer.'
I felt myself drawn toward the apple like i was in a daze. I put my hand on it, Adam it sent shivers down my spine.
'Go on Eve pluck it form its branch' the snake whispered in my ear.
'Feel it in your hand. Before i knew what was happening the apple was in my hand. Now stroke it, rub it between your hands, caress it'
Oh it felt so good my mouth was salivating. I brought it to my mouth allowed my tongue to taste its skin.
'Go on Eve bite it.Let its juice run down your mouth' the snake urged. And just as i was about to sink my teeth into it. I thought of you Adam.

Adam;     Me!

Eve;       Yes Adam you. Look, see what I have for you, for us to share, to experience to enjoy together.

Adam;     But Eve what about God?

Eve;        Oh for Gods sake Adam look at me.I'm standing in front of you, apple in hand, do you see God? We are still here. in the garden he doesn't know he'll never know. I won't tell if you won't. Come on Adam just touch it, let it overcome your senses. Bring it to your mouth taste it. Yes.. yes... Adam that's it. Now together.... bite into it. Oh it's sweetness,,,, the pleasure Adam.....

Narrator;    And what happened censored, blacked out, their kicked out of the garden, Made to live in the scrapheap of life.

could have done without the narrator, possibly
Great idea but....

The best way to sum this up is 'And?' ou start with a nice concept but didn't take it any further. 
 
I'd like to see something a little longer from you, to test your consistency.
Lots of scope

I agree with nearlypastit - you have a good concept here and there is so much scope for comedy (I presume you have read - eugh, or at least tried to read - paradise lost?)  
 
I have to say though, the script needs a little editing. Some of the punctuation and grammer needs polishing, which at the moment is all I can focus on. It really does detract from the story. For example: "No says I you see God that's the man who owns this place." 
 
If this is your first draft, then I apologise! I don't bother with spelling, grammer and punctutaion too much until I am ready to start my second draft, although most people (including publishers) aren't nearly as kind.
