eve becomes SNAKE -- or snake becomes EVE. whichever way ROUND, she is FREER. hell follows her ‘round, hell called MAN, hell called ADAM, trying to make the CHANGING about him. adam demands of god why he is being PUNISHED like this. eve finds GRACE in the dark cracks between rocks. eve finds god in the SOLITUDE. eve finds ABSOLUTION in the red press of her knees / scales into the dirt. eve, UNBLINKING, watches adam rail. adam demands ANSWERS and eve / snake / eve exits the GARDEN to go and find them for HERSELF.

he’d figured something bad had happened, ❛ . . . right. ❜ just didn’t quite think that. thought maybe he’d have to . . . hurt someone. or kill them. and frankly ? that doesn’t quite bother him as much as this does. ❛ guessin’ you took something that didn’t belong to you ? ❜ it proves his point when she offers to pay him. something . . . big he assumes. but simply shakes his head. his heart aches for her, he can understand falling into bad habits, becoming something or someone you wouldn’t recognize staring back at you in the mirror : she’s still a kid. whether she wants to believe it or not. ❛ look, it’s cold out here, katie. th’ dead of the night how ‘bout we go to my apartment ? i was makin’ dinner. you eat, tell me what’s happened and my place is yours. however long you need it. ❜ words are gently spoken, a smile splaying ‘pon features. ❛ no one’s gonna look for you there, i promise. ❜ he’s a ghost : never found unless he desires to be. and he’ll protect her. no matter what comes her way. she’s still got an entire life ahead of her. something frank wants her to live && not lose before she’s had a chance. ❛ c’mon, sweetheart. ❜
this is what happens when church girls have a little bit of the devil left in them . how does the saying go ? good girls do bad things sometimes . funny enough , she kind of assumed that one day down the line it’d be the boys who left her behind to get manhandled into the backseat of a cop car —- but it was the other way around . ( she didn’t mean to run scared . they told her to . that’s how she justifies it . they wanted her free . ) she hasn’t even noticed the chill , the way it’s made its home in her bones & dances its way down her spine .
❝ —— it’s a long story . ❞ what seth said back during the heist in mexico flits its way through her head : but she pushes it out quickly . focus . focus . she weighs her options . it’s either take his offer and jump headfirst into something she’s completely uncertain of , or try to face the world on her own . ( she’s done the latter before . it’s not so appealing . )
❝ ….. okay . ❞ agreement is soft , breath curls like gunsmoke through the frigid air .
❝ i’m sorry . ❞ it’s not right of her to ask this from him & she knows it : she knows and she asks anyway . when did she become someone who takes rather than gives ? when did she lose herself completely ?
