CUPIDOkay, okay, so my best years of matchmaking are behind me. My eyesight
isn't too good and my aim is even worse. As a matter of fact, the
last matchmaking mission I was sent on didn't go so well. Here's
what happened: There were two perfectly matched single strangers
sitting on a park bench on a glorious spring day. My orders were
to make them meet and fall in love. I loaded my romance bow with
the trusted passion arrow and fired at the guy. I hit him because
he was a big target. Then I focused my aim on the lovely little
lady but I missed her and hit the bench. Actually, it was pretty
funny watching this rather large man passionately profess his love and
fidelity to a park bench, but the lady kind of freaked out and called
the police on him. Because of that fiasco I lost my matchmaking
status in the Cupid Union.
