p.m.l.

"Shit." I say as I drop my cigarette again. I tend to do it a lot, because I'm
A) a clumsy fuck and
B) my hand trembles from the nicotine.

Don't smoke, it'll ruin you.

Yes, it is an escape for me. But it's a shitty escape.

I continue my walk to school. I'm a Year 12. Next year, it'll be my last year. I don't know what I'm going to do.

What do I do with my life after school? I can't get a reasonable job, I'm an alcoholic, a drug addict, nobody will hire me. Shit -

I can't breathe as easily as I was before, and it wasn't from the cigarette, I dropped that and left it.

I turn the corner quickly, and dive into the alleyway by the local town's Italian restaurant.

Sobbing.
