The neon lights cast long shadows on the forms huddled around cluttered tables. Every gulp of cheap liquor is a shot at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the truth that hunts them outside these dim walls. They come here to forget their woes, seeking escape in the crowd of strangers who feel it too. But the booze can only mask the emptiness for so long. The dreams, they're broken, scattered like empty bottles on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the routine starts all over again.
