Happy Wednesday people. I hope you enjoy this extremely short story.
The Cigarette
David had managed to
maintain a calm exterior, for the entire thirty four years he had spent on planet
Earth. Despite a stressful life, he always had a sunny disposition.
When he was bullied as
a child, he laughed off their attempts, cursing them for having inferior intellect
and of course this lead to more bullying for the lad.
As a teenager, his
abusive parents were ignored as he convinced himself that he didn't need them.
David knew he could progress on his own and that his life givers were only holding
him back.
Even as a fully grown
adult, David remained calm. As his girlfriend Tanya broke down and confessed
that she had been unfaithful, his anger levels refused to alter.
A series of deep
breaths and David felt as calm as could be. Pulling that first cigarette out of a
fresh packet had never signalled such a momentous occasion to him before now.
Taking several drags,
he let out a sly grin and flicked the cigarette onto Tanya’s petrol covered
skin. As she screamed in agony, the skin melted from the bone and yet, David
remained calm.
