Barry's life
Two people fall in love in unlikely circumstances. They have a lot of psychological issues and mistrusts in the order of things to prevent them from finding themselves and each other. I am a reader of crime novels and hard science fiction almost exclusively, and yet this story, which I have been writing for a long time, is a love story, I can't explain it even to myself. The characters will have to work through hardship and evolve to be able to surrender to the magical things around them and the flow of the universe and the love of other people. This story still is a work in progress, it has holes and it is to be continued

ARROW OF THE GODS
For over 500 years, Cupid has been the unseen force behind countless love stories, guiding hearts toward their destined matches. But for all the passion he has kindled, he has never felt love himself. To him, his gift is a curse-a cruel irony that allows him to spread love but never receive it. That is, until he meets her. A college student with an unshakable fascination for him, she sees past the legend and falls for the lonely soul beneath. Her devotion is unwavering, her love deep and undeniable. But Cupid, jaded by centuries of solitude, cannot believe that love-true, boundless love-could ever be meant for him. Doubt keeps him at a distance, his heart shackled by fear. Yet, slowly, her persistence chips away at the walls he has built. And when he finally recognizes the truth-that she loves him not for what he does, but for who he is-there is no force in the universe strong enough to keep them apart. A tale of fate, vulnerability, and the power of love, Arrow of the Gods is a story of a god who spent centuries creating love-only to find it in the most unexpected place.Complete
