Jim and Rick ran over to where their rocket, and a body lay. " Oh no," they thought.
Launching the model rocket had seemed a good idea at the time. " The camera is working," Rick said, looking at his phone's screen. The image was quite sharp.
" Good," Jim replied, taking a look over Rick's shoulder. " Who needs a drone?"
" You can control them, for one," Rick said.
" We both know we don't have the money for one. Besides, it's still going to be a good view." Jim finished the preps for launch, and then he and Rick stepped away from the pad. " Launching in 3, 2, 1..Go." The rocket took off with a hiss, and it rapidly climbed into the sky.
Things were going well with the flight, until Jim and Rick saw something flying into the path of the rocket. There was a collision in mid air, and both rocket and what appeared to be a bird fell to the ground. " We just killed a bird," Jim thought.
They found the rocket 20 yards away, and nearby was what they hit. It wasn't a bird. The figure was human, just over 3 feet tall, and had wings on its back. It wore a toga with a belt. Hanging from that belt was a bag, and a quiver loaded with arrows was slung on the figure's back. " Oh no," went through both their heads. They'd just killed Cupid.
