Adam's Apple
“Where did you hear that? She asked, blonde hair peek-a-boo covering her naked breasts.
“An emergency meeting of Seraphim and Cherubim. I was passing by and overheard,” he responded. “You’ve passed that tree a hundred times. The one with the single piece of fruit at the very top. It looks like an apple. ”
“And it’s supposed to have magical powers?”
“The fruit. That’s what He said.”
“Nobody can climb that tree,” she insisted.
“The snake could. He could slither up. You could persuade him,” he winked.
“As soon as I finish hemming these fig leaves,” she winked back.

His Final Adventure
Simon went to sleep in his bedroom on 523 Broadripple Avenue. He woke up in a remarkable city in the clouds. He found himself face to face with all manner of fantastic creatures, including flying horses, hippogriffs, storm giants, and singing seraphim.
Simon soon realized the city of clouds was not an idyllic Avalon. He wanted very much to return to his house on 523 Broadripple Avenue but everywhere he looked, it was one majestic waterfall after another. Most frustrating of all, none of the fantastic creatures would speak to him.
It took him several days to realize he was actually dead.
