Miriam’s New Year's resolution lasted two days.
She came into work, got soaked to the bone on her way due to a malfunctioning umbrella.

Miriam went and bought a twenty deck of Marlboro Reds as soon as she was able. She smoked two in a row, taking long draws and sighing with satisfaction, closing her eyes with relief. There was always next year.
