I'm unsure whether new story submissions are still accepted. If they are, here is an outline that might be turned into something polished.

Gan Eden – A Rough Story Outline

Adam walks through the Garden of Eden – Gan Eden. He is naked and alone and innocent. Power and grace are his as he strides with feral energy through the lush clinging growth of the Garden.

A fragile and elegant butterfly settles on his genitals.

Adam is pleased by the gentle caresses of the butterfly.

The butterfly turns into a masculine angel, radiant and splendid, nuzzling Adam’s penis and fondling his testicles.

Adam and the angel lock eyes as Adam’s joy mounts. All is silent in the garden.

Just before Adam is to reach orgasm for the first time, the angel stops and asks Adam to choose between becoming a man and completing his ecstasy, or relapsing to the peace and solitude and innocence he had known.

Overcome by his passion, Adam chooses completion.

The angel leads Adam to a powerful and prolonged orgasm.

As his orgasm subsides, Adam looks down to see the angel become a great black bird of prey with piercing eyes.

Clasping Adam’s thighs in his talons, the bird pecks and tears until Adam’s genitals are mutilated beyond hope of healing. Adam will never know orgasm again. Adam’s screams go unheard; his blood is washed away in the clear stream that rushes through Gan Eden.

Shocked and glassy eyed, Adam is numb. All his joy is lost. All his hope is gone. He is as he was before, but now he knows what he has lost. The garden is no longer beautiful for him.

God walks in the garden. He comes upon Adam, and Adam cries out against God for granting him such joy only to betray Adam’s faith and deny his hope.

God answers that “I have given you the knowledge of good and evil, of joy and pain. Had I let you take joy at will, you would be as I am. Thou shalt not.”

Weeping, Adam prostrates himself and kisses God’s feet. “I submit. I submit myself to you,” he says.

And that was the Fall.

An odd and interesting take on an extremely well known biblical story.

I'd love to see this fleshed out even more. A kind of "Eunuch's take" on the old testament.

Even as is, I've certainly read shorter stories that were accepted to the Archive.

New story submissions will resume shortly, or more accurately, they'll be back when they come back. Better people than me are working toward that goal.

I'd love to read it when it is finished.

And God saw that it was good.

“Then God said, “Let us make man in Our image, according to our likeness. He will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, all the earth, and the creatures that crawl on the earth.”

God formed man out of the dust from the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being. He placed him in the Garden of Eden to work it and to watch over it. And God commanded the man, “You are to eat from any tree of the garden, but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for on the day you eat from it, you will surely die.”

The man worked hard tending the garden, and he worshiped God, his maker, but God saw that the man had only the animals for company, and they were unable to speak to him.

“It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper as his compliment.”

God caused a deep sleep to come over the man, and as he slept, God took one of his ribs and made a helpmate for him. Evan, God named him. The first man, he named Adam.

Adam and Evan were happy together in the garden. Both were naked, yet felt no shame. They were made in God’s image.

Now, the serpent was the most cunning of all the wild animals that the Lord God had made. It said to Evan, “Did God really say, ‘You can’t eat from any tree in the garden?’”

Evan replied, “We may eat from the fruit of the trees of the garden, but God said about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, ‘You must not eat it or touch it, or you will die.’”

The serpent laughed:

“No! You will not die. God doesn’t want you to eat from that tree because he knows, if you do, your eyes will be opened, and knowing good from evil, you will be like him. You will be a god. Come. I’ll show you the tree.”

The serpent strode off toward the middle of the garden. Evan followed him. Eventually, they came to the tree.

It was beautiful, and the fruit it bore looked delicious.

“Eat,” the serpent said, “and you will become like God.”

Picking one of the fruits, Evan ate.

With each bite, Evan’s body changed. A cleft appeared in his smooth groin; it deepened. Breasts grew on his chest. He grew nipples. His hips widened; his shoulders grew narrow. Hair grew on his groin and under his arms. His eyes were opened. He knew he must save the other half of the fruit for Adam; he knew he must convince Adam to eat it. Only then, would the transformation be complete.

“What?” Adam said when he saw Evan, his mouth dropping. “What happened to you?”

“God lied to us. We weren’t made in his image. We have to eat of the fruit to become like him.”

Evan held out the other half of the fruit to Adam. He took it, looking at Evan, wondering if this was really how God looked.

“Eat it,” insisted Evan.

Adam bit into the fruit. The change was immediate: except, instead of a cleft between his legs, he grew appendages, a long tube and a skin covered sac containing two oblong objects not unlike walnuts.

Looking at Evan, his tube got hard. He threw Evan to the ground. His tube found Evan’s cleft and entered it. Soon, he was pounding it in and out of Evan’s cleft.

“Oh…oh…oh…” Evan said.

“Oh…” Adam said.

An explosion of pleasure: of release. This must be heaven; this must be what it’s like to be God.

They did it again and again, until sated, they could do it no more.

After they lay awhile, Evan, having second thoughts, looked down at the cleft between his legs. Adam’s seed seeped from it. As good as it had been, Adam had thrown him to the ground and taken him. He could have, at least, kissed Evan first.

“Look what you made me do,” he told Adam.

“What I made you do?” said Adam. “You made me eat the Goddamn fruit.”

Hearing a noise like wind through the leaves, Adam said, “Fuck! It’s God. We can’t let him see us like this.”

Grabbing a couple of large fig leaves, he handed one to Evan.

“Cover yourself.”

He covered his groin with the other. They hid themselves among the trees.

“WHERE ARE YOU?”

“Uh…we’re over here,” Adam said, peeking over a bush.

“WHY ARE YOU HIDING?”

“Well…uh…we’re naked.”

“SO…YOU’VE ALWAYS BEEN NAKED.”

“Not this naked,” said Adam.

He stepped out from behind the bush; he held the fig leaf over his groin. Evan stayed hidden. The fig leaf wouldn’t cover his tits.

“WHAT ARE YOU HIDING BEHIND THAT LEAF?”

“Uh…nothing.”

“LET ME SEE IT”

Adam pulled the leaf away.

“YOU ATE THE FUCKING FRUIT, DIDN’T YOU?”

“She made me do it,” Adam said, not realizing that he had called Evan she for the first time.

“COME OUT HERE RIGHT NOW,” God told Evan, and she came out holding the fig leaf over her crotch and one arm across her tits.

“YOU HAD TO GO AND DO IT, DIDN’T YOU? WELL, THE TWO OF YOU CAN GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY GARDEN. YOU HAD A GOOD THING GOING, BUT YOU BLEW IT.”

“The serpent made me do it,” said Evan.

“I’LL TAKE CARE OF THE SERPENT. I’LL CHOP OFF HIS LEGS AND MAKE HIM CRAWL AROUND ON HIS BELLY. IN CASE YOU HAVEN’T NOTICED, THOUGH, YOU AND ADAM ARE NO LONGER ALIKE. HE’S MAN AND YOU’RE WOMAN. IT HIS PLACE TO BE ON TOP, AND IT’S YOUR PLACE TO SLEEP IN THE WET SPOT. NOW, GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY GARDEN. I HOPE YOU LIKE CHILD BIRTH, BECAUSE FROM WHAT I SEE, YOU’RE ALREADY PREGNANT. IF YOU ONLY KNEW THE GRIEF THE LITTLE BASTARD WILL CAUSE YOU ONE DAY, BUT IT SERVES YOU RIGHT. NAME HIM CAIN.”

Adam and Evan – now called Eve – left the garden. Their troubles were just beginning.

Very inventive. Very witty. Like the idea that God didn't create the genders. No castration here, but "fucking" good.
