CUPID’S BROTHER GRINPID

                        CUPID’S BROTHER GRINPID

           “This is my time of the year!” Cupid zig zagging while cheering in the clouds. Stopping on a big fluffy cloud. He turns to his quiver to count the arrows. Cupid looks the arrows over as a shadow from above darkens his cloud.

       “Ha ha, you’re pathetic older brother. The world is my domain now,” A dark cherub figure emerge from a fluffy cloud. Some thunder rumbled.

      “Oh Grinpid, love is still alive. You are just envious of the love that blooms this time of the year,” Cupid cheerfully looks up at his brother the young sibling only by a blink of an eye.

      “Really? How many of the arrows have you hit ones with and this year those ones are again single?” Grinpid landing on the same cloud with his bow and quiver and arrows. His looks close to a gargoyle. Cupid stands up and turns to Grinpid. Grinpid gives his hideous smile at Cupid.

       “I can only spark the fire. There is no potion in love!” Cupid scolds Grinpid. Grinpid in a cheeky look shakes his head and opens his arms to Cupid.

        “Then you admit, love is only skin deep. I will admit real love is out there. now in this age of human beings, it’s more bling and what looks good around the arm,” Grinpid in a winning attitude bows to Cupid.

    “That is something I don’t control, you could do this you only come out at the human’s vulnerable times. You should be ashamed,” Cupid counters in his determined way. Grinpid rubs his warty chin. He just then points at his face and then waves his hand and shows Cupid humans that don’t have the animalistic beauty with hearts of gold. Cupid in defeat nods and just wipes a tear from his eye.

    “That is something I cannot help. True love should overcome this. Humans are weak, they want more than what is giving. Though love should be the only reason. I give you this battle one day I promise minds and personality will be victorious I promise,” Cupid jumps to the side Grinpid is on and holds his hand to shake. Grinpid feeling his brother’s pain grabs his hand and then hugs his brother. He looks Cupid in the eye.

     “Dear brother, that one day we all would love to see. Sadly, each day this slips from the love thinkers. Now let the illusion of soulmates and lust flourish. Grinpid’s time has come,” Grinpid grabs one of his arrows and hands it to Cupid as Cupid opens his hand to receive it.
