4️⃣ The Smoke-Free Smoking Area — Chapter 4: The Future Statement
The Smoke-Free Smoking Area — Chapter 4, "The Future Statement." A short story.
Future Cigarettes came with a dedicated app.
At first, Mr. N hadn't looked at it. He'd assumed it only displayed how many were left and how much time he'd used. But after his lunch break disappeared, he began to pay attention.
When he opened the screen, a statement was laid out.
January 12 — walk to the station after work — 7 minutes
January 13 — spacing out after a bath — 11 minutes
January 14 — dozing back off on Sunday morning — 19 minutes
January 15 — small talk with my wife — 6 minutes
Mr. N stopped his finger on the last item.
