Cupid's Arrows

He crouched to a comfortable position.

Pulled the bowstring back.

Closing one eye to take aim.

Twang... He let the arrow go.

And just like the three times before, it missed the target.

He couldn't understand what was happening. Cupid had personally given him these arrows. They were supposed to make any girl fall in love with him. But how would they if the arrows never hit them.

Beside him, cupid let out a silent laugh. He may have given the arrows, but he was standing right there calmly deflecting each one of them. The guy wasn't ready for love. And the cupid wouldn't allow any girl to be trapped with such a guy.
