All Comments on 'One Last Drag'

I’m not a fan of smoking but that was my first cigarette. I immediately regretted it. This story is almost entirely true.

In all of my life the only times I’ve ever smoked tobacco was so I could stand to kiss someone else who had. ‘Elsa’ was not her real name but she did love her unfiltered cigarettes. I saw her again about ten years later and she was no longer a smoker. ;) She was a life long boost to my confidence and was well worth the drag.

When I thought it was fiction I felt it was four stars, with the only subtraction being the smoking. Knowing it's true and with your explanation it is worthy of five. If you publish elsewhere without the word limit, integrate the comment into the text.

Thanks for that feedback CaseyKeith, I really don’t want to promote tobacco!

I submitted an edit to the ending and it just posted. I honestly feel much better about it now.

Touching, enlivening! I love 750 word stories.(Some, not all, of course.) 5 stars.
