Should I?
The Dawn of Humanity: A Kayleigh Fraser Unofficial challenge
Wonder… delight… ignite, explode within! Magenta, cyan, yellows swirl… Euphrates joins her three quicksilver sisters… rushing past my ambling feet. Havilah‘s golden nuggets rest alongside onyx. Luscious fruit drips exquisite nectar... cottonwool lambs frolic with frisky lion cubs. All mine to enjoy… except… eyes linger; hand outstretched… just one bite?
***************************************************************
Author’s Note: I hope it’s obvious that the Bible’s Garden of Eden is this story’s context!
Written for: The Story of Humanity, Kayleigh Fraser Unofficial challenge (50 words exactly).
I first learnt of the challenge while reading JBaz’s story (see below) & was inspired by it.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Instructions for Replacement
These instructions are intended for ordinary use. They are not a guide to reinvention, only adjustment. Follow them carefully and in order. Skipping steps may result in confusion, emotional exposure, or relapse. If done correctly, the transition will appear seamless to others. You will continue to function. You will continue to be addressed by the same name. Only the internal mechanisms will change.
