99 word stage play

A theatre in the round.

Enter stage left.

A man aged 22 or younger.

He furrows his brow, affecting the pose of a brooding male self-consciously putting his hand through his hair.

He rolls his own cigarette each preparation is affected

He blows smoke rings, with cigarette in hand feigning indifference to no-one, in particular 

He reaches into his back pocket.

Beat
