Connecticut. Stamford.
Located in the Northeastern United States, it has a great geographical location...
At least in the current civil war scenario, life is a bit more comfortable here.
The sanitation worker Arturo Johnson jumped off the truck, yawning, and walked into a roadside convenience store.
"Give me a pack of Marlboro."
"9 dollars." The clerk quickly pulled out a pack of cigarettes and handed it over.
Arturo Johnson was taken aback and looked up, "Damn it, wasn't it just 6 US Dollar yesterday?"
The clerk pointed to the "price increase notice" posted on the counter.
"Shit!"
Arturo Johnson hesitated, highly dissatisfied, "How much has it gone up?"
Marlboro used to be just 2 dollars domestically, and in just three months, the price increased four times, now it's 9 dollars, can't even afford to smoke.
But as a smoker, not smoking feels like ants crawling all over the body, unbearable itchiness.
