adam was walking down the road when suddenly he met eve.
what are you doing here? he asked her belligerently.
i could ask you the same thing, she replied saucily.
you are going in the wrong direction, he continued, studiously ignoring her tone. there is nothing behind me, that is why i am proceeding north, as you see.
i will be the judge of that, eve answered in a more measured tone of voice. perhaps there are things i will see that you did not, or that i can make use of that you could not.
suit yourself.
step aside then, and let me pass.
the road is wide as well as long, will it wear you out to walk around me?
eve laughed. you always have to argue, do you not?
goodbye. and adam stepped around eve, and continued heading north, toward the ice and wind and snow.
women! adam thought. they always have to make a big deal out of everything and take everything personally.
of course, he added on sober reflection, eve is the only woman i have ever known, so perhaps i should not be too hasty in my generalizations.
perhaps i will find a very different woman in the wind and ice and snow.
if i do, i wonder what i should call ——
just then a blast of frigid air almost knocked him off his feet…
next
