The sharp, acrid scent of tobacco smoke hung heavy in the air. Silas never smoked. In all the months I had lived under the Schmidt roof, surrounded by their violence and their secrets, I had never seen him touch a cigarette.

He was clinging to the burning ember, forcing his muscles to lock down because he didn't want to shatter in my presence.

As I was getting ready to walk out the door he jumps up from his seat. "Do you smoke?" he asks. "Yes" I tell him knowing it's my one habit I can't kick. He walks outside with me. we light up and blow smoke out in the cold silence of the night. "How was your night?" he asked. I laughed. I told him about Karen and the guy who thought he could charm me with his dick in his hand. He listened to me and seemed pissed off at the second part of my story.

Smoke had a feeling that she would never see prey the same way if she continued thinking that way. Once all four of them settled in the den, Smoke dug into her half of the fresh-kill.

Dusk suddenly asked between bites.

Jack’s Pov The air was filled with the smell of smoke, both from the cheap cigarettes I favored and the remnants of a fire long since extinguished in the fireplace. I leaned back in my chair, dragging on my cigarette, the ember glowing faintly in the dark. If you intend to seek for the services of criminals, you need to play the part.

It reminded me of the last time I’d seen something like that—back when my Uncle Guido quit smoking his filterless Lucky Strikes in the nineties. “Just so you know,” I whispered, leaning closer, “smoking causes cancer. And it wrinkles your skin.” After taking two more drags, she flicked the cigarette into an oversized planter. “Eventually, he’ll get tired of you and come to his senses. No matter how good the blowjob is—or whatever other favor you’re offering to keep him coming back—that’s bound to wear thin.”

The wooden beams overhead cracked and groaned, spitting sparks. She pulled her shirt up to cover her mouth, trying to breathe—trying to think. But her thoughts were slipping. The smoke was thick and choking, burning her lungs with every gasp. Her vision blurred, and her chest heaved in desperation for oxygen that no longer existed in the room. Maybe this was it. Maybe this was how her story ended—not in a dramatic betrayal or a slow unraveling of lies—but here, in this cabin, all alone, surrounded by everything that was once safe now turning to ash around her.

I then felt him sit beside me on the bench, the two of us now silent as we heard the wind howl. "I was once addicted to smoking" he suddenly spoke. I turned my head towards him feeling curious as he continued speaking. He leaned back with his hands in his coat pockets, looking at the woods in front of us. "I lost my family in a fire" he muttered making me look at him with shock and sympathy. "My brother and my parents-" he chuckled to himself, "they were everything to me but my whole world turned into ashes. I became so lonely, so isolated that I turned to smoking, and yes it did help me get away from my stress and depression but it was only temporarily" he then turned his head and looked at

“Yes. People usually smoke because of something. Sometimes to fit in with others, or because someone close to them does it. Sometimes it’s to escape depression, stress, cold... But the sad part is, they’re often ignorant of the consequences.” I paused. “You’re a teenager. Is school stressing you out? Family problems? Or maybe... do you have a kid that’s stressing you? So many things are running through my head right now. Tell me why you smoke.” I heard her sniffle. “Are you crying?” “I have a kid,” she said softly, “but he’s not the reason. He’s the sweetest thing that ever happened to me. I love that little tramp... I smoke because I want to forget how I got him. I want to smoke my pain awa

There were four stories to this house so we were above the treetops, with a clear view of the mountains and lakes, despite the fading daylight. "Luca came by to drop some groceries off and he's gonna stay for a bit," I said. Max nodded but refused to look at me. "I'm sorry," I said after a deep breath. He shrugged and reached into his pocket before pulling out a box of cigarettes and a lighter. He put one between his lips and lit it before taking a drag. "I didn't know you smoked?" I said as he breathed out the smoke. "I used to. A lot. Then I quit and now I only do it when I'm angry, sad, stressed or depressed," he replied taking another puff of his cigarette. "Tonight it's all four. Congra

Jeff chuckled and replied, " I've tried, she said she doesn't smoke, I can't force her."

Jeff joined in and started smoking as well, as they smoked, Dwayne suggested, " we should have a smoke shrine tonight, it's been quite a while since we had one, we've not had any since Robbin arrived here." Looking confused, Robbin asked " what's a smoke shrine? " Jeff glanced at Dwayne and burst into laughter, almost choking, " it's something we all do, we gather together in a circle and chain-smoke for hours at night, usually until around 2 a.m. when we all fall asleep.
