A Corpse as Blue as Lapis Lazuli - Chapter 5

7:30 AM

I awake to the sweet scent of strawberries. David was indulging in one of his strawberry-flavoured magical cigarettes. If I haven’t mentioned it before, I’ll mention it now, magical cigarettes not only mimic the effects of real deal cigarettes without the horrid consequence of cancer but smoking them is like consuming the real thing the flavour is based on. This is why some magic cigarette smokers smoke in private if they have flavoured cigarettes, because if they do it in public and someone is allergic to the flavour, they would have a reaction and most smokers don’t want to be responsible for that.

I went into the bathroom and locked the door. I changed my outfit and left. I started making breakfast while David was on his computer.

“What are you doing?” I inquired.

“Do you remember that initial conversation that attracted us here?” David asked.

“Yes, almost word for word.” I added.
