The neon lights cast long shadows on the silhouettes huddled around sticky tables. Every swig of bitter liquor is a shot at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the truth that shadows them outside these shadowy walls. They come here to numb the ache, seeking solace in the murmurs of strangers who get it. But the booze can only cover the loneliness for so long. The dreams, they're broken, forgotten like cigarette butts on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the routine starts all over again.
