- She found him repulsive & lousy at foreplay, but Eve had no choice; Adam was the only man on Earth. He ravished her every full moon; she endured 8 miscarriages before Cain was born
- Since the playbook hadn't been written yet Eve was at her wit's end trying how to care for this tiny human that had come out of her body. She called it Cain. Cain he became. Abel c

- He became acutely aware of the sweat on his face and palms as the eyes of others peered into his soul. His flaws amplified themselves... even his clothes started fitting him worse.

Strange, I don't recall it happening that way in the Bible...

The Bible glosses over lots of stuff. Like how Cain & Able must have had sisters. The begettings have to start somewhere.

Maybe, Lilith, having ditched Adam, found herself in need of the D. Cain & Abel were the only other men around at the time. She must have mothered some kids with them.

I suppose that might explain the bat wings. But where'd the lycanthropy come from?

LYCANTHROPY: Well, hell, KieferSkunk, I take full responsibility for that part of the story. Lycanthropy, the belief that you are a wolf and that you can shapeshift into one, plays a huge part in the 1941 Universal film “The Wolfman” starring Lon Chaney Jr. I first saw the film when I was about 12, more than 50 years ago. Since then, the word “lycanthropy” has rolled off my tongue at the most inopportune moments, and I’ve found that most people don’t know what the hell the term means and look at me like I’m crazy when I try to explain it to them. This Folding Story is the first time I’ve had the opportunity to use the word “lycanthropy” in print, so I took full advantage. I equate it to the ending scene in “Play It Again Sam,” when this dialogue ensues: Woody Allen: If that plane leaves the ground and you’re not on it with him you’ll regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon…and for the rest of your life. Diane Keaton: That’s beautiful. Woody Allen: It’s from Casablanca. I waited my whole life to say it. And thus it is with the word lycanthropy…I’ve waited my whole life to say it...in print.
