The neon lights throw long shadows on the forms huddled around greasy tables. Every swig of bitter liquor is a chug at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the pain that shadows them outside these shadowy walls. They come here to forget their woes, seeking escape in the crowd of strangers who feel it too. But the drinks can only mask the despair for so long. The dreams, they're crushed, forgotten like empty bottles on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the routine starts all over again.
