Quandary Resolution 1230
Garden of Eden, turncoat, mirage, afterclap
Delirious from overwork, the lone janitor of the Garden of Eden thought he spotted a true paradise, in which there were no snakes to dodge or chewed apple cores to sweep up, but when this heavenly mirage vanished, giving way to the sight of another decaying Granny Smith, he decided to change allegiance, to become a turncoat, seeking employment in the rival kingdom below, where he lived and worked happily, considering his transition complete, until the afterclap: a lawsuit from his former employer alleging he had violated the terms of the non-compete agreement.
