Whatever Happened to Eve?

No writer can help what he or she writes. Whether they be scandalous or sweet, dull or bright, words arrive as and when the fancy takes and evolve into whatever fable suits. With that in mind this collective of untamed words, of their own volition, chose not to be pitched at the easily offended or fainthearted, instead they opted for a captivating darkness. Can our dreams take us to another reality? Eve, the self-same Eve evicted from the metaphor that is Eden, finds herself marooned in a prudish England. Naked and lost she commits murder. Deemed bonkers, she is installed in a high-security psychiatric hospital for an indeterminate term where she is placed under the direct care of a black psychiatrist, Adamu who just happens to be the Adamu who was her fig leaf flame in paradise. Sadly, earthly Adamu has no recollection whatsoever of Eve, for he is in deep denial, refusing to accept the existence of any Shangri-La or alternative dimensions. Leaving her flesh and bone in situ behind bars, Eve takes every opportunity to journey to the very real ’Land of Nod’...a decadent, Bohemian realm where anything is ’probable’. Does Eve revive her love affair with Adamu on Earth, in Nod, or both? Can Eve play her part in the aftermath of a destructive civil war in Nod? Does Eve have a ’get out of the asylum free’ card? Only time will tell. Eve’s unique tale encompassing her leaving Eden behind; true love; ’off the wall’ sexual encounters; war; peace; racial prejudices; slavery; a male harem; politics and philosophy pulls no punches. Quite the reverse.
