Chosen, But By Whom?

UPDATE: My cigarette story (below) is on Gawker! Big on the internet...~Andrea

Last Thursday, a pack of Marlboro Lights literally fell out of the sky and landed next to me on the corner of 39th and Park, a block away from my job. I assumed it had fallen out of a window or a ledge, or been tossed out of a car by mistake, though what kind of smoker would accidentally discard an almost-full pack of cigarettes, I have no idea. Either way, it struck me as a good story, and inspired me to give away as many of the cigarettes as I could to cold and desperate smokers when I went out that night.

On Saturday, I found another pack of Marlboro Lights in the crosswalk on 24th and 10th. Finding a second almost-full pack of cigarettes in three days seemed weird; finding two packs of the same brand seemed kind of uncanny.

This morning, I found a third pack of cigarettes, this one full with the plastic on, on 93rd and Broadway. This is a pack of Merit Lights; not the same brand, but still a Philip Morris company.

Either Philip Morris is working with Cornerstone or God wants me to die of cancer,

They should've linked to your post in Gawker, it would've brought like a lot of traffic here and such. See if you can email them to put a link to your post on the Gawker site, I mean you probably aren't as petty as I and might think that would be rude. Anyway, way to enter the internet's glittarati.
