This stand-alone short story is part of the series "The Beginning of Civilization: Short Stories" available through Smashwords.com and other digital book resellers. These are adjunct stories to the six-novel saga "The Beginning of Civilization: Mythologies Told True" distributed in book form by Ingram Sparks Group. The novels and short stories imagine mankind's protohistory as inspired by the mythologies of Greece, Egypt, Canaan, Sumeria, and Phoenicia.
"Pumi in Sumeria: Lilith" completes the origination story for "Lilith," who was Biblical Adam's wife in many traditions. It continues origination stories for the Sumerian primal goddess, Ninmah, and her consort, Sulpae, plus the many "demons" that occupy "the land between the rivers." Herein, Lilith hungers for the Northman's experience, knowledge, and sophistication. And perhaps his warmth and affection. He gives her these things. Be afraid.
