Cupid was at it again. But the truth was this Cupid wasn't the real one. This was Evil Cupid. He hit a woman with his lovely pink bow and arrow. The woman stared at the man in front of her who was wearing ragged clothes and had bare feet covered in dirt. "Yuck!" I thought. "Don't tell me she is now in love with that man. That's horrible!"

Next thing I knew I got hit by something in the back. I turned and saw Evil Cupid's pink arrow turn black. And you know what they say about "love at first sight?" Well, at first sight I was staring down at my bottom, where Evil Cupid's black arrow was sticking out. Now I was in love with my bottom! How terrible!

My heart suddenly started to thump and I realized I was singing a song to my bottom and couldn't snap out of it. Then I remembered that if Evil Cupid hits you five seconds later you die. Three seconds had passed and I felt weak. Four…five…and ouch! I got hit again. I closed my eyes and saw a light coming towards me. And then I died.
