SMOKE

He lighted his cigarette staring nowhere
As he inhaled he remembered the loss of his mother the abuse of his dad... His breakup with her
as he exhaled his muscles relaxed mind felt light... For a moment everything seemed perfect

He felt so blissful that he lighted another and another...
Well this was s
His lungs might have been hurting but atleast the pain in his heart was...

As he lighted the last one he burnt his finger
The pain was unbearable
In a moment he realised something

He threw away the cigarette down the river

His eyes filled water
It started pouring onto his cheeks
He screamed from the Mountain top
"Why me!"
An echo came back Me

He realised he was in the middle of nowhere
Where there was no one
But only him
This life.... Where there was no one with him
But only him
All he had was he himself...

Wiping his face he drove back...
Where i was standing on the gate with a chinese take out and DVD of F. R. I. E. N. D. S

Epilogue:
He stopped his car and came running to me he hugged me tight almost smothering
The whole night we laughed cried it was a night filled with emotion out bond became stronger... And we knew we were not alone...
