I look around the maze of shops. I need food but I need something to take the edge off my thoughts. My head is screaming. Everything is a mess and I need some relief. I need to feel like I'm not losing control. A hand grabs me. I jump.
"You're a new face." A voice says from behind me.
I turn. I kick him back. His hat falls my eyes widen.
"You're a mutant to?" I ask.
"What ticked that off?" He points to his lizard face.
"What do you want?" I ask.
"I can give you something to ease your pain. I can tell by your eyes you're in one of those bad moods." He licks an eye.
"What?" I ask.
He takes out a bottle and a pack of cigarettes with his tail.
"Those will help?" I raise an eyebrow.
"That they will. The smoke clears your head. The alcohol fills it." He licks his lips.
"Well-" I start.
"Let these take away the pain you feel." He smiles.
"How?" I ask.
"Just trust me." He hands me a cigar.
I take it. I breathe in the smoke. It fills my throat with the taste of honey. I look up at him. It makes me concentrate on the smell and for a small moment... I couldn't think of anything. My thoughts drift.
"I'll take one pack." I say.
"Excellent." He says.
