Opening
And then when all was come and gone, the Great Lord God strode out of the house and into the garden, for in the garden he found the deep peace of Rome. Bathtubs stood all around in heavy earnestness. Boot jacks littered the Garden. A thousand broken flower pots were piled into one corner.
“Where is Adam?” asked the Lord God.
No one answered for all the flower pots were tired and none of the bathtubs remembered it was Sunday.
