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.

Suddenly, the things that once felt important—anger, pride, resentment—collapse beneath the weight of what's coming. As panic spreads outside and the countdown closes in, Walter becomes consumed by one desperate goal:

Reach his family before time runs out.

But the phone lines are failing. The roads are chaos. 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.

Perfect for fans of Seeking a Friend for the End of the World and emotionally grounded apocalypse fiction.
