The glowing lights throw long shadows on the silhouettes huddled around sticky tables. Every gulp of strong liquor is a chug at forgetting, a fleeting escape prison from the reality that hunts them outside these dim walls. They come here to lose themselves, seeking solace in the company of strangers who get it. But the booze can only cover the emptiness for so long. The dreams, they're crushed, forgotten like beer cans on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the struggle starts all over again.
