Clouded by Smoke Alternate Ending 1

There is something that i didn't tell the readers about "Clouded by Smoke."What I didn't tell you was that this story has alternate endings. Here is the first alternate ending. OK lets see where did i leave off at. Oh Yeah, Ben had just walked into his friend's room. When he walked in there, he saw everyone crowding his friend. Don't forget, he smelled something funny in the hallway. He pushed and shoved so that he can get through to see what was going on. When he finally got through, he saw his friend passing something to another person in the circle. The kid put it up to his mouth and took a puff. Then a whole bunch of smoke went flying into Ben's face and everyone started laughing. He was startled when it happened. He turned the other way because his eyes started watering and he didn't want anyone to see. He turned around and asked what the stuff was. There were giggles and laughs in the background. One kid stepped up and laughed,"It's the magic plant."Everyone else started laughing really hard. Ben was really embarrassed. They all started making comments trying to convince him to take a puff. He reached over and grabbed the blunt. His friend said,"Go ahead and take a hit, you said you want to be cool." Ben said,"Yeah, but not this way." Everyone started calling Ben stuff like wimp and (I cannot put other words because of young readers). So he gave in and said fine. He put the blunt in his mouth and inhaled. he started coughing and wheezing. Everyone started laughing and said take another. He did. This time it was worse. He fell on the floor and started coughing really hard. He thought he was going to die. He finally stopped coughing and got up. Then everyone said that it was just because he was a beginner. They said he should just start by smoking regular cigarettes. He agreed and asked if anybody had some. Somebody handed him one and someone else handed him a lighter. He took a puff. This time he didn't cough. So everyone started saying stuff like,"See the weed was just to strong for you."He said OK that was fine. So now Ben is officially a smoker. When he grew up, he ended up having a wife and 3 kids. The bad thing is that when he turned 38, he developed lung cancer because he became addicted to cigarettes. He also started doing drugs at the age of 18. When he turned 40, he died. He left his wife alone to take care of his 6 year old, his 8 year old, and his 13 year old children. This is a sad ending but don't forget, there is another ending. I think some readers would like the other alternate ending much more.

Wow, that's a pretty sad ending, all right. I understand why it's hard to avoid doing what other kids are doing. But this guy seemed to have a good idea of what's right and what doesn't make much sense. It's too bad he couldn't stick to his own ideas. But I'll tune in for the other ending soon . . .
