Description

Serpent's Vine retells Eden as a paradise where perfection decays the moment imagination awakens. Adam carves the first words in drunken despair, Eve shapes the first pictures from mud, and Felix--wild, gleeful, unrepentant--discovers death by cracking skulls and wielding fire. What begins as pleasure without consequence mutates into violence, chaos, and invention. Each act of destruction--each corpse, each scream, each flame--becomes the soil where story, art, and creation take root.
Luce, proud of his "perfect" garden, watches in horror as his children turn his gift inward, crafting weapons from vines and stone, drawing inspiration from pain, and giving language to loss. What was meant to be eternal bliss becomes a battlefield of imagination, where inspiration thrives only because death exists. In this brutal vision of origins, paradise is not lost--it is transformed. For in Eden, death did not end life. It began story.
