★Boris is alive★

~CHAPTER 46~

ROMEO

Climbing back into the sleek, black sedan, I lit up a cigarette, the flame from the lighter casting a warm glow on my face.

Glancing out the window, gazing up at the night sky as the car glided smoothly out of the cemetery's winding driveway.

The trees, adorned with leaves that rustled softly in the evening breeze, faded to a blur into the darkness.

It's that time of the month again, a ritual I'd performed for years, when I'd visit the old couple who lay resting in the cemetery.

Bringing flowers, my mom favorite blooms, and a bottle of fine whiskey to keep my dad company, a small gesture to honor their memory.

The familiar routine brought comfort, a brief respite from the chaos that often surrounded me but it also brought pain, anger and more fuel to avenge them.

Inhaling deeply, trying to get my mind off the oldies, the smoke from my cigarette curled upwards, weaving through the car's interior.
