The neon lights throw long shadows on the faces huddled around greasy tables. Every sip of strong liquor is a slurp at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the pain that shadows them outside these dark walls. They come here to forget their woes, prison seeking comfort in the crowd of strangers who feel it too. But the liquor can only cover the emptiness for so long. The dreams, they're shattered, forgotten like beer cans on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the cycle starts all over again.
