phil
"oh let me guess, marlboro again?" the sudden voice breaks the silence within the shop. i nodded quickly, and soon he's reaching into the dozens of shelves behind him. i nervously fiddled with my fingers to pass time and study the intricate designs of the countertop.
"that'll be £9.91, sir."
i pull out a tenner from my wallet, which was slowly becoming slimmer by day. i handed over the bill, and he hands back my change.
"thank you, have a good day sir," he adds.
i nod and step out the small shop.
after tearing the package open, i pull out a cigarette and place it between my lips. i light it, then take a drag. as soon as i remove the cigarette and blow out the smoke, it's almost as if all my worries disappear. i sigh as relief washes over me immediately.
after a few more drags, i decided it was finally time to head back to my apartment.
walking down the london streets with a cig in your mouth isn't the most flattering. a daily basis usually consists of glances and disgusted faces from non-smokers.
but that's okay.
because my time is running out anyways.
