Ciggy

He guards the stoop and ignores every deadline.

Morning Shift

Ciggy took the morning shift because nobody checked whether the building had one. He occupies the warm step, keeps one ear on the door, and treats every passing footstep as someone else’s assignment. The cigarette is mostly a timing device. When the ember reaches the filter, he schedules another five minutes and resumes staring directly through management.

Shift Habits

The whole operation runs on patience, concrete, and one suspiciously permanent break.

  • Door Control

    Opens nothing unless the weather improves.
  • Ember Timing

    Measures breaks with unreasonable confidence.
  • Customer Care

    Answers every request with the same narrow stare.

Still here. Still on break.
