| ***BIO*** Colin Galbraith is 30, and lives in Edinburgh with his wife and child. After gaining a Degree in I.T. in 1995, he started working in a typically mundane job within the confines of the 'rat race' - which he is now trying to claw his way back out of. He started writing seriously four years ago after completing a course with the Open College of the Arts, and is currently working on his first novel, several short stories and the occasional poem. Most recently his short story 'Once A Borderer' was published by 'This Is It' magazine. |

| I Smoke Because I Want To |
| by Colin Galbraith |
| "I smoke because I like it." "Bollocks! You smoke because you're bored, and if you really wanted to, you'd stub that fag out on the floor." "I smoke because it's relaxing." "Yeah right, and why are you so tense? you earn within the upper band, you're life ain't such a mess." "I smoke because I can." "Fuck you, you liar to your soul, there's people living on the streets, use that cash, help them out their hole." "I smoke because I can't stop." "You could if you really tried, ain't you sick of smelling stale, of coughing out tar far and wide?" "I smoke because…" "There's no reason why you should, you've got yourself addicted, your brain ain't made of wood." |
