Syrupy thick smoke chokes and suffocates.
It seeps seamlessly into the system, devouring self- control along the way.
A siren sings songs misleading unsuspecting victims to their detriment. Immersing in a steamy tar enriched shower.
Suddenly the smoky rings turn to chains, impossible to break though.
Nasty brown blobs lock themselves inside the lungs,
and mercilessly clutch the key.
