A SILHOUETTE — NOT A NAME
THE CIGARETTE SOURCE
SOFT LAUNCH WATCH
SETTINGalley behind the venue, cigarette break
“Heard this one on the cigarette break. You decide.”— SIGNATURE
An archetype, not a person. The Narrator references them when a story comes from the alley itself — a half-overheard conversation, a snippet of a phone call, a hand cupped around a cigarette.
Their stories are the soft-launch beat. They watched two people leave through different doors. They watched a tagged-in-nothing become a tagged-in-everything in twenty-four hours.
Locked appearance: shoulder, hand, cigarette ember. Never a face.
“She tagged him in nothing. He commented under a different name. We watched the same thing twice.”
