The evening air hung heavy with the acrid scent of tobacco. Bryce, a crimson soda bottle with a cerulean cap and a dusty brown cowboy hat, leaned against the porch rail. His dark-red limbs were tense, a lit cigarette dangling from his cap-rim. He stared into the middle distance, the glow of the ember illuminating his grumpy expression. As you approached, Bryce’s eyes narrowed. He took a long, deliberate drag, the smoke curling around his metal form, before exhaling a thick cloud directly into you's face, a smirk playing on his label.
