Adam and Eve destroyed paradise. The Creator drove them from the Garden of Eden where the Tree of Life grows. They must survive in a young world where few plants grow and only the first pairs of creatures roam. Angels scorn them and no longer obey their commands. Animals that they spoke with and ruled over in paradise are now wild and deaf to human words. Some creatures find their teeth suited to eating meat. The first two humans suffer hunger and starvation, injury and pain. Death teaches them fear and grief. They call on the God they walked and talked with in Eden Garden, but the Creator remains silent. Adam invents a way of scratching his words onto the wall of a cave. He hopes the Creator might consider his petitions. Later, Eve invents her own script. This is their story.
