EAST OF EDEN — After discovering the horrific murder of their son Abel, Adam and Eve sat down to compile a comprehensive list of possible suspects.
Declaring the case to be a real "whodunit," the first man and woman puzzled long into the night as to who could be the killer.
"Think, Adam, think. Who else could it be?" said Adam, staring at his list. "Don't get in a rush here. Leave no stone unturned. We're going to solve this riddle and catch the killer, whoever it may be. I didn't do it. And I asked Eve, and she said it wasn't her. That does narrow it down somewhat."
The couple reportedly spent several hours brainstorming potential culprits, such as "rogue fig tree" and "very aggressive breeze," before coming up with their exhaustive list of people who could have perpetrated the heinous act.
"We're following all the clues," said Eve. "I feel like we're getting close now. We'll start the interview process soon and begin gathering clues. It may help to draw an outline on the ground of where the body was when we found it. I think we're finally starting to get to the bottom of this enigma."
At publishing time, the couple had begun wondering who they could select to serve on an impartial jury.
