Bleeding Red Chapter 1: Memories “I thought you quit,” Johnny stated. I shook my head and inhaled once again, the bright red cherry lighting up as the cigarette burned. “They’ll kill you one day,” he said softly. I put my head down and sighed. All the tolls and risks, cancers and conditions, I’ve heard them all before, but in all reality, I didn’t care. “Maybe a slow death wouldn’t be that bad,” I whispered, letting the smoke fill my lungs once more.
