Lighting a Cig

Luke thinks back to why he's robbing banks.

When you can't let go and you can't move on you end up stuck like a broken-down car on the side of a road. Aging but never changing. Watching as the rest of the world passes you by. She longs for someone who went to join the angels beyond the pine-tips. Her life is dedicated to silently watching over another woman's son. All for him. All because she can't stop pining for the past.
