Cain page 7

 Cain page 7 by ric gustafson 

Adam stopped at the crest of a hill. He stared at the valley below. It was filled with grass. Adam knew the area well. It was between Abel's pastures and Cain's fields. Then Adam noticed a patch of grass which looked depressed.

He walked downhill and then through the clearing. He walked up to a spot where the grass looked sickly. On the crushed grass, Adam noticed a pool of liquid. Adam examined the liquid with his fingers. It was blood. Then Adam noticed clumps of hair. He bent down and examined it. The hair was very light.

Fear came over Adam. Abel's?. That's impossible Adam thought to himself. The Almighty promised protection. 

Then Adam noticed footprints leading toward the river. He followed them. At the river's endge, Adam noticed more footprints. They were human and fresh. The footprints were probably only a day old. 

Perplexed, Adam scratched his chin. Cain?.
