Eden's Last Assembly

Every animal in existence has arrived at the Garden's heart — little deer pressed against great deer, bear cubs climbing elder bears, squirrels chattering from every branch — and the sky is already burning gold. Adam stands at the center with the weight of every unspoken name pressing against his tongue, and Eve stands one forbidden step behind him, her lips already parting. One creature has not yet shown its face, and its absence is the only thing that can stop the sun from setting on a completed world.
