The glowing lights paint long shadows on the faces huddled around cluttered tables. Every sip of cheap liquor is a shot at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the truth that shadows them outside these dim walls. They come here to lose themselves, seeking comfort in the murmurs of strangers who get it. But the drinks can only mask the loneliness for so long. The dreams, they're shattered, lying like empty bottles on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the cycle starts all over again.
