Marina Phelan was not addicted to smoking. In fact, she despised the very deed. And if it hadn't been for the package of Lucky Strikes she had bought when she was sixteen, she wouldn't have even touched a cigarette. 

But every now and then, life caught up with her, driving her insane. Those were the moments she needed a relieve, and it came in only one form: a cigarette. 

This story describes the situations that drove Marina to pick up the lighter, to make her forget her own life for just a minute or two. 


*This story is not written by an addict, a junkie, a psycopath or a freaky cigarette-advertiser. It's written by me, Emma, and only by me. Please do not start smoking. It kills you.*

Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home!

With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat.
