The Neighbors Are Watching (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
It was very stale, but that didn’t matter at all. She blew out a cloud, watched the breeze waft it over her star jasmine, and inhaled another. No coughing, no awkwardness holding it between her fingers. Smoking, like so many other relinquished bad habits, was like riding a bicycle. It didn’t matter how long it had been, you never forgot how. She held the cigarette to her lips again. She hadn’t realized how much she’d missed this bad old friend until now. For a minute all she had to do was focus on inhaling, exhaling, and feeling the nicotine rush inside her skull. It didn’t stop the thoughts from jamming her brain, but it made them, however briefly, a little more tolerable. At the very least, it gave her something to do and a reason to stand still as she pondered what was surely coming next. Dorothy had never believed in karma, either as a serious philosophy or a light half-joking explanation for unpleasantness or bad luck. She believed, instead, that it was possible to nullify the past with the present.
