Cupid’s Arrow
Well, what do you expect when you let a strange man you just met in a motel bar be your god of love?
This story is a response to J.K. Mill’s intriguing Valentine’s story prompt, which you should definitely go read and admire before coming back here. But to recap briefly, the scenario is this –
It’s Valentine’s Day. You’re snowed in at some sketchy dive of a motel in the middle of nowhere, and while cooling your heels in the bar you encounter a guy who swears he’s the God of Love with the power to make your dreams come true. And, by way of passing a dull evening, he offers you the chance to fulfil your wildest sexual fantasy. All you have to do is think it, he claims, and it’ll there waiting for you, back in your room.
And instead of thinking he’s a creep with a weird line in chat-ups, you wonder if he might actually be telling the truth.
So read on and find out…
Who does that guy think he is, telling you to go to your room?
Sending you there, like you’re some naughty kid?
You go anyway, because duh. What else is there to do when you’re snowed in at some lovelorn motel?
So you go. Not because you’ve been naughty, but because it’s the place to go when it’s time to get naughty.
