The flickering lights cast long shadows on the forms huddled around sticky tables. Every gulp of bitter liquor is a shot at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the reality that haunts them outside these dim walls.

The dreams, they're shattered, lying like empty bottles on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the routine starts all over again.
