"You're ssstill here?" he said, head rising above the tall grass. "I thought you'd be long gone."
"Oh, it's you," said the angel, not sounding particularly disappointed. "Yes. I thought I'd best keep an eye on things. I'm still the Guardian of the Eastern Gate, you know."
"Not much to guard, is there?" The serpent turned its yellow eyes to what once was Paradise. "It's dead."
"Dying," the angel said firmly, and turned to look at the Garden as well, with rather less regret. "I expect you're pleased."
The serpent's head weaved from side to side. "Not as much as you might think, angel. I liked Eden. You never had to go far to find trouble to stir up."
"Don't you think you've stirred up quite enough trouble?" asked the angel, without much conviction.
"I think," said the serpent, taking in the tangled, overgrown jungle, abandoned to Nature and forgotten by most, "I think, angel, that the trouble is just beginning."
As leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief.
