What if the Devil never took shape but instead learnt to breathe like Eve? No hiss nor lies, just her reaching hands and a man too ready to believe. What if Eden fell not by a snake but by faith that could have never been retreived? No bite, no sin, just trust stretched too far and a heart that chose to follow where it couldn't see. Maybe that's why the air whispers daily; woman bore the seed of man's defeat.

WHAT IF?
What if the Devil never took shape but instead learnt to breathe like Eve? No hiss nor lies, just her reaching hands and a man too ready to believe. What if Eden fell not by a snake but by faith that could have never been retreived? No bite, no sin, just trust stretched too far and a heart that chose to follow where it couldn't see. Maybe that's why the air whispers daily; woman bore the seed of man's defeat.
Inspired by the Bible, the story of Adam and Eve, and the forbidden fruit.
