Dead Lizard Love

  When I looked up and saw Cupid with his bow, I knew we were in trouble. The dead lizard on the street looked up at me with googly eyes and I jumped back. "No no no no no no nnnonnononon!" I yelled as it hopped onto two legs and succeeded at chasing me down the sidewalk. I dodged babies in strollers and half-blind old women. My hat flew off my head and my hair blew in my face as I made my way through the giant crowd of people. I had no idea as to why this lizard was chasing me or why exactly I was so terrified of it. I turned a corner and paused to catch my breath. Peeking around the buildings, I saw a tiny green blob dashing down the street towards me. I screamed once again for good measure. Then I pulled myself together and awaited the lizard's arrival.  I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, two stared back at me. I screamed for the third time. Eventually, the lizard and I went out for coffee and had a pretty nice time before he got stepped on.
