The Last Drag

Our protagonist is Ted Druski. He is 34 years old, unmarried with no known children. He lives alone in a small single-wide trailer miles from humanity and works at an automotive parts warehouse. He has smoked a pack and a half a day of Pall Mall red for 20 years. His brand is up to six dollars a pack. This and a nagging ache in the left side of his chest have led him to decide to quit smoking. He has one cig left, and he damn well intends to enjoy it. It is a balmy 67 degrees outside on his back patio, a perfect evening to sit outside with a cold Budweiser and puff away. One problem: no lighter. And so, the search begins, but he never would have imagined fire would be so difficult to create in his midwestern home in 2010.

Make it funny, make it twisted, make it highly improbable and have a blast!
