The Last Cigarette

The world ends in ninety minutes. Walter Regin has one phone call left to make. Walter Regin sits alone in the silence of his empty apartment, replaying the argument that drove his wife and son away. Then the emergency alert interrupts everything. Nuclear war has begun. Impact in ninety minutes.

And with every passing minute, the chances of hearing their voices again slip further away. As the world moves toward annihilation, Walter is forced to confront the painful truth about the life he built, the mistakes he made, and whether redemption is possible when there's almost no time left to seek it.
A tense and emotionally charged apocalyptic novella, The Last Cigarette blends psychological drama with end-of-the-world dread in a story about regret, love, and the desperate need for forgiveness.
