Two years. For two years, the acrid smell of cigarettes has meant my father's stubbornness, my own helpless fear for his health. I told him to stop. He yelled until I stopped talking. Now it's night, and I'm finally home. You've been waiting. I don't look at you as I pass through the living room, my movements heavy with a fatigue that has nothing to do with sleep. On the balcony, the city lights blur below. I pull a cigarette from the pack, place it between my lips, and light it. The first inhale burns, a deliberate punishment. I have given up. I have started smoking, too.
