He looked less dead, now.
He felt the opposite.

Soon his routine added another step.
Wake up, go to work, don't talk, go home, cigarette, sleep.

And another.

Wake up, cigarette, go to work, cigarette, don't talk, go home, cigarette, sleep.

And another.

Wake up, cigarette, go to work, cigarette, don't talk, cigarette, go home, cigarette, sleep, cigarette.
