The Tree
A 100 word story
The early morning sun bathed the garden with its majestic light. A beautiful tree stood in its centre, long branches reaching up towards the heavens.
The woman stood before the tree, eyes looking up at the tempting fruit hanging from its branches, like rubies.
The morning breeze blew through her long, black hair and dew from the lush blades of grass wetted her bare feet, like tears.
She had been told that they could eat fruit from any other tree but this one.
But the serpent’s voice won out in the end.
Eve reached up and picked an apple.
