This is a shortened retelling of the fall, but does it really add anything, does it create insight that was not there in the original. Maybe it incorporates something from the Book of Enoch, or the Book of Adam and Eve. It's been so long since I have studied either. I do like the line "He looked upward and yelled, “we used to worship you!”". It reminds me of Satan's defiant stance from hell in Milton's "Paradise Lost", only with more longing. Of course it is a complete falsity as Adam did continue to worship God, as did all the line of Seth after him down to Noah, the last holy man. Still, good for dramatic effect. PLus it does beg the question that if Adam is barren, does that make Eve barrenless, that is fruitful? It is after all when they are cast out, that they are able to have children and populate the earth and quite quickly I might add. I think maybe the writer doesn't know the answer to his own question, which is not a requirement in order to pose one

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
