Genesis 2

4 And God awoke and said, "Something is amiss, let thy table be laden with every good thing." 5 So God created cacao beans. 6 And it was so. 7 God made eight great essences in celebration of the day; unsweetened, dark, bittersweet, semi-sweet, milk, Hershey kisses, white  and M & M's and set them near the tree of life   8 He also brewed up a carafe of Starbuck's Verona coffee to compliment His miracle. 9 And God blessed the cacao beans and saw they were good.  10 And there was evening, and there was morning-the eighth day.

Choice drabble, Lynn, with a fear of the eighth day as subtle as those fine chocolate treats. Loved it!

viva la difference, Lynn. Very nice work on this week's prompt. Mmmmm I think I'd hang around for the eighth day. Doing without is more scary to me. LOL

I'm unwrapping a Dove chocolate...hold on a minute. Now the world and his work is complete, as is your well done story.

You are so right Lynn. Well -penned and authentic.
William Dotani Apr 8, 2008, 11:44am EDT
Great translation. Yes, chocolate was the downfall of Adam & Eve, not the apple. Nice tale.
Marianne M. Apr 8, 2008, 1:13pm EDT
Loved this very clever drabble, Lynn!
Christine P. Apr 8, 2008, 3:09pm EDT
Your writing always captivates me! I love the point you made that you have Verona coffee with your chocolate! LOL!
Charli Mills Apr 9, 2008, 9:41pm EDT
I savored this one Lynn! As a fair-trade coffee drinker I am concerned about the publicity Starbuck's can spin from this! :-) Very, very clever.
Alison Pearce Apr 9, 2008, 10:23pm EDT
Great drabble
lynn a. Apr 10, 2008, 9:49am EDT
Oh, too funny. Think we have detected another chocolate/coffee lover in our midst. Good one, Lynn. I had fun reading this.
Sheila Deeth Apr 10, 2008, 1:42pm EDT
Very funny. Very sweet. Very delicious. Loved it!
Lyn Owen Apr 10, 2008, 1:59pm EDT
Well done.
Becky Powell Apr 10, 2008, 6:22pm EDT
Now I understand what LOL means! This is wickedly funny, Lynn. And, what a lovely fantasy!
Lune Wolfsong Apr 10, 2008, 8:35pm EDT
Ooooooooooh. We're in trouble now.
Charli Mills Apr 11, 2008, 9:03pm EDT
Had to come back and chuckle again!
Anita R. Apr 11, 2008, 10:00pm EDT
Great drabble Lynn -- let there be chocolate (and coffee)!
Lisa J Apr 11, 2008, 11:41pm EDT
LOL... loved this...
Lynn R. Apr 11, 2008, 11:47pm EDT
Mouthwatering drabble. Lynn you are amazingly talented. I loved this.

LOL That was great!

I love this Lynn, before coming here, I just had one of those dark chocolate sticks, just 60 calories of pleasure, I eat every night about this time, my treat for being good.
