CUPIDITY

< ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

A stout, bearded man stood beside a tall shrub on a green plastic pot.  He watched, smiling, as people pass by, walking on the beige marble floor, in groups, holding bags of goods or anything.  The man was staring at the fair- skinned guy reading a newspaper and was holding a cup of coffee, sitting between two quiet strangers.  Then, the elevator door slid opened and revealed a batch people who quickly stepped out from it.  They all looked the same except for a tall blonde girl, holding a cup of coffee on her right, and a paper bag at the left. The stout man raised his palm, and above it, a thin cloud of white smoke appeared suddenly, hovered a little, and revealed a plain white bow.  On the other hand, another puff of smoke appeared and produced an arrow with white feathers as tail.  The man positioned the weapon and aimed at the reading guy, and fired. The arrow flew towards the guy’s chest; but there was no blood.  Instead, the exposed part of the arrow glowed for a second, and finally disappeared.  Next, the guy lifted his head up, seeing the tall girl sipping her coffee, passing by in front of him.  He stood up, and called the girl.
