The neon lights paint long shadows on the silhouettes huddled around cluttered tables. Every swig of cheap liquor is a chug at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the reality that hunts them outside these shadowy walls. They come here to forget their woes, seeking escape in the crowd of strangers who understand. But the liquor can only cover the despair for so long. The dreams, they're broken, forgotten like cigarette butts on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the cycle starts all over again.

Even here, behind these walls, life persists.
