She looked up out of thin gray walls that curled up over her bare skin.  Later she would think of it as a sarcophagus, but for now it was simply the first thing she'd ever seen, along with his hungry face.

"Lilith," the man above her demanded in a booming voice that echoed inside the coffin. She took his proffered hand, having nothing else to do.  His tone was soft when he added, "You will be a fine wife."  All she could think about was that he had cloth to cover himself, yet she did not.  It was cold.

The fact that he wanted to make her a wife should have been her first clue that he was a bit  'off.'

No first date. No phone sex. Just -- BADA BING -- wife.  She shoulda run.

lilith, like so many of  us deities, lacks inner balance. be strong; be independent; be self-confident! be on top! but could you manage a side order of ying to go with that yang?   poor lilith, what a bad rap. ;)

Fascinating.  I'll be pondering Lilith for the next several days.  I don't think she'll "be a fine wife."  She left the only guy on the planet, once, rather than be his punk.  Last I heard, she had dumped the archangel, Samuel, and was on her way to Hell.  I was looking forward to meeting her there until I read your post that she has resurrected.  Thanks for the well-crafted alert!
