The dying sun cast long, amber shadows as the Frenchman exhaled a final plume of smoke. He crushed the burning ember against the railing, watching it tumble into the abyss below—a careless gesture for a careless world. His mind raced; he had to scrub the tobacco from his teeth before you arrived. Promises of quitting hung heavy in the air, unkept.

Tired?"* he whispered, praying his minty breath masked the vice he couldn't abandon.
