Devil May Care

“Excuse me sir? You can’t smoke here.” Malice snapped his lighter closed. Slowly looking up at the nurse standing in front of him, clad in pink scrub pants and a white scrub top adorned with little kittens in various states of play . A warm friendly smile spread across his face as he pushed off the wall. “Oh I don’t smoke, truly filthy habit if you ask me, I just find the mechanics and the sounds of the lighter to be very soothing.” Hey said as he slipped the lighter back into the pocket of his black satin vest buttoning up his black suit jacket. The nurse smiled back at the demon of vengeance politely nodding. “Well that's alright then, just please be mindful of the no smoking and no open flame signs, we have a lot of patients on oxygen on this floor.”
