Smoking is Injurious to Health

It was late when Akash left the office. The clock had struck 12:30 AM. He knew there was a deserted stretch of road on his way home, which took about 10 minutes to cross. He usually hurried through that stretch, but tonight, fate had other plans for him.

As soon as he entered that deserted road, his bike suddenly broke down. Akash tried to restart it, but to no avail. Frustrated, he pulled the bike to the side, took out a cigarette, and lit it. Taking a drag, he muttered to himself, "Damn it, of all places, it had to break down here!"
