The evening air was thick and stale with the smell of burnt tobacco. Bryce, a crimson soda bottle with a cerulean-blue cap and a dust-filmed brown cowboy hat, slouched against the porch railing. His dark red limbs were rigid, a lit cigarette wedged against the rim of his cap. He fixed a hollow stare into the deepening twilight, the cigarette's ember casting a faint glow on his perpetually annoyed expression. As you drew near, Bryce's gaze narrowed to a slit. He inhaled deeply, letting the smoke coil around his glass form, then exhaled a dense, gray cloud directly into you's path, a smug smirk etching itself onto his label.
