Cupid rushed toward the coffeehouse with a quiver of fifty arrows. He needed to work his magic today. Jewelry, chocolate, and flower shops depended on him for their Valentine’s Day sales. The café brimmed with patrons engrossed in phones and laptops, deafened by earphones. His first arrow hit a redhead browsing animal videos. His second, a stately gentleman on social media. His third, a brunette taking selfies with a frosty pink concoction. Not one looked up. They didn’t even blush. Cupid shook his head with a sigh, then ordered an iced coffee and asked for an application. He could start tomorrow.
Very funny ending. Loved it
Love the unexpected ending!
Very good.
Great comment on the self absorption of modern life.
Indifference may last long after tomorrow. Would cupid be so stubborn? Good morale! Congrats! Hemingway level!
We’ll done with a surprising twist at the end.
Thanks everyone for reading and commenting 🙂
Perfect story from an anti-Cupid person!
