#eBook Her smoky eyes by Cian Doyle
It was a Thursday night, and the world outside was asleep, or pretending to be. Inside the tiny, cramped apartment of Vincent, a poet who'd written more about loneliness than love, the air was thick with smoke and whiskey.
The walls, stained yellow from years of cigarette butts and half-empty bottles, seemed to close in on him. His fingers hovered over the typewriter, but the words weren’t coming. They hadn’t been for days, weeks, maybe even months.
Vincent had given up on his dream a long time ago. The days of hopeful, romantic verses filled with yearning had been replaced with stale words, like the ashes in the ashtray he kept beside him. His mind had become a desert, cracked and empty, but the ache in his chest never disappeared.
Cian Doyle. A fixture of the New York City health services, navigates the labyrinth of bureaucracy with the weary grace of a seasoned sailor. Most of the time he wrangles spreadsheets and calms irate patients. But later at home he channels his frustrations into darkly comedic short stories about the eccentric characters he encounters, from hypochondriacs to bewildered bureaucrats, proving that even in the most mundane of settings, life provides endless fodder for absurdity.
