“ADAM RESURRECTED”: A Tale of Primal Nature Revisited

Out of Profound disappointment came the Almighty's decree to resurrect the biblical Adam into a contemporary self. For the plan was a celestial quest to collaborate with the reincarnated First Man to help eliminate much of mankind's wicked and wanton ways, adjudged on the brink of self-destruction. And Adam's help was essential also to lead the way in restoring the Almighty's one pristine planet. Angels are dispatched to rain a bevy of whimsical phantasms on Adam to wheedle him into willingly joining their mission. Eventually, the Angel Amos appears, telling Adam of their goals and requirements he must meet. But Adam scoffs at making a contrite repentance for his prior disobedience in the Garden of Eden-complicating heaven's designs. Although the tale often flows surreal and adventuresome, the perceptive reader is apt to capture meanings aloft, and intellectualize on individualism, free will and defense of humanness, interwoven in the fabric of this spiritual fantasy.
