@manwhorc requested a HOT STUD
i light a cigarette as rain trickles down the sidewalk, it smells like rain and carbon monoxide poisoning but i’m not bothered, it’s dark out, noir in a shade that reflects how i feel inside, which is rather happy but dark. crimes are ARRAY in the city of Philadelphia, and it is my job, PROBLEM SLEUTH to commit and solve them. i light a cigarette
a person seems to be walking in the opposite direction of me. i can tell it is a person and not a water bottle or a sneaky rat because he is clearly standing on two legs unlike the three a end table sometimes stands on. i raise my brow at him and light three more cigarettes, chewing on the tobacco between my teeth.
❝good day, sir,❞ i say, water pouring from my bowler like a rather small waterfall, i am mindful to drink the water as it comes down and halts at my feet. i light another cigarette and swallow it. ❝raining kinda hard out, ain’t it?❞
