Imagine this. The Colorado mountains stretch endlessly around you, a vast expanse of jagged peaks dusted with the first hints of winter. The crisp air carries a subtle bite, the kind that kisses your skin but leaves you longing for more, while the scent of pine and damp earth rises up from the rocky ground. You’re a cat—an oversized cougar with a mottled coat that matches the muted colors of the rugged landscape. Paws outstretched, you lounge in an old, slightly rusted lawn chair that seems to have been forgotten on a tiny clearing amidst the towering trees. Above, the sky is a brilliant blue, marbled with lazy clouds drifting like thoughts on a tranquil breeze. Your tail flicks lazily, brushing the side of the chair as you bring a cigarette—a $cig—to your lips. With a feline elegance, you inhale, letting the warmth fill your chest. Smoke curls from your whiskers in silvery tendrils, drifting upward and disappearing into the crisp mountain air. You take another drag, squinting at the sun dipping ever so slightly toward the western peaks. The light catches on your whiskers, turning them golden. You breathe out slowly, and the smoke mingles with your sigh, dispersing into the cold air. Somewhere in the distance, a bird cries out—a sharp sound against the muffled stillness of the mountains. You lean back, claws kneading at the old fabric of the lawn chair, content to simply be here in this odd juxtaposition of nature and technology, instinct and indulgence. The price of sol keeps going up. And you, a cat with nothing but time, watch the world change, one cig and one pump at a time.
