Prompt: Metaphor

He knows that he is an experiment. He knows that he was created in a laboratory by human hands. He has met his creator, and he knows that some would consider him fortunate in that.

He knows a great deal for one so young.

He doesn't know that he is a metaphor.

He is not familiar with the biblical story of creation. There is no Bible for him to read and no one who will tell him the tale. After all, to do so would be akin to blasphemy. This is a House of Science. God has no place here.


A/N: This one may wind up being reworked. I put an inordinate amount of work into these mere 100 words, and I'm still not quite happy with it. I had so many bits and snippets of ideas that just didn't want to fit in there, because this drabble refused to be anything but abstract. So maybe not "reworked," but... "revisited." Bah. Stop rambling, Author!

Abel: (pats frazzled Author on the head) Here, have some tea.
