Cain from Gold & Gravity by The Seventh Word

God told Cain, "I'll eat your grain, and the ripe, sweet fruit of the vine. But sweeter still is a good clean kill, and the fresh, sweet fat from the base of the spine."

Cain sat on a stone, down by the river alone, and tried to think of a way to get free from the sight of the Lord, whom his brother adored, but who made Cain get down on his knees.

Then, down at his feet, what looked like fresh meat: he saw a rock that was the color of blood. Cain picked up the stone, and he wandered on home to the field where his brother stood.

“If God likes meat, I’ll give him something to eat”, he said, as his brother fell to the ground.
Cain tasted the blood and said, “I don’t know about God, but I can dance to that bone-breaking sound!”
