I do not know exactly when I was born or how I was born, the details are quite blurred. But I remember a voice of power who wished me to multiply and prosper. How would I do that when I see no one of relevant physiques around me. I watched and copied what the people around me were doing. We tilled the land and ate fruits off trees. I was overwhelmed with an unbearable motion to sleep.

I woke up and saw another me. Different. Long hair and bruised and incomplete. Once again, I felt a notion to multiply and prosper…

I decided to name my friends around me for easier communication. I came up with ways to use my eating hole which I will now call mouth. My partner is now called a woman based off my name “man”. I named my friends: Cow, Pig, Sheep… they don’t talk to me…I wonder if they don’t like my names.

I woke up today and saw woman talking to snake. That is peculiar as I have never seen my other friends talk. Clearly, they are just slow learners.

Snake has given woman a fruit and she bit it. Woman gave fruit to me and I ate it as well. The fruit was tasty.  I decided to call the fruit æppel meaning eyeball.

I woke up and the world was different. I felt cold so I made some clothes? The world felt small so looked for a way out. I took woman and my friends to find new places to visit.

The new place is barren. We took some seeds and planted it. It grew into more food after many moons. It is hard to make food with only me and woman.

I figured out to make more of me by watching my friends. It was simple. Women was missing parts, so I let woman borrow mine for a while. Her belly would swell and more of us are brought into the world.

My son was born today. I decided to name him Cain. Woman wanted to name him Abel, but I thought Cain sounded better. But I will name my next son Abel to stop her from nagging me.

Today I am one hundred and twenty-nine years old. I have made much progress. I figured out how to farm the land to get more food. My friends have decided to roam the lands 80 years ago only a few of them decided to stay with me. I see more of their descendants today. If only Cain and Abel can get along better with each other, me and woman never had this problem before. Maybe if they had another brother to talk to it would be better, I will discuss this with woman tonight.

I had another boy. I named him Seth. We all loved Seth, for once Cain and Abel stopped arguing.

Cain told me he was sick of working the farm every day. I told him it was a very important job. Cain argued with me for the first time asking why I give Abel the easy job of herding sheep. I told him because he’s the first-born, so he has the more important and harder job. To be honest I spent years showing Cain all I knew, and I was too tired to do it all over again. I told Cain maybe he could teach Abel what he knows, then Abel can replace him.

Cain took Abel today with him to train him in the ways of farming. The earth shook…something was wrong…

I hit Cain today. Cain taught Abel how to farm and sent him away to start his own family…how could he do that…Abel is still so young…what if he dies? What is death? I felt as if a new concept was seeded in my mind, it is still very hazy.

I am now eight hundred years old. I never saw Abel again…I hope he is still well…Cain decided to leave the family as well. Only woman is with me now as we watch all the helpers, we have made go their separate ways. The farm is at its emptiest…just me and Women.

I am very tired…I sleep longer now…my memories are faint…I hear trumpets and hear the fluttering of wings. I want to sleep.

It has been nine hundred and thirty years. I am tired. Woman is crying. I saw snake again…he has lost his limbs. Snake gives women a fruit. Ah the memories…It was a fruit I was never able to grow in my farm…I taste the fruit once again in 900 years. I fall into sleep.

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”
