Cigarette Girl
written by: Bala
I saw the devil sit on the lawn, propped on her elbows, her legs crossed, smoking two cigarettes at once.
She was too pretty to be the devil – tobacco-stained crooked teeth behind purple-brown lips – ah, the devil indeed!
Yet, instead of stepping away when the stubborn gaze from behind half-closed eyes met mine, I stood, next to her.
After a moment that felt like eternity, and a fit of coughing, she said, “We all do things we said we would never do.”
A cheerful doctor, trying to flip the world the sunny side up. Easily bribed by chocolate, I am always open to trying out new things or seeking another adventure.
