Every sip of cheap liquor is a shot at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the reality that hunts them outside these shadowy walls. They come here to lose themselves, seeking solace in the crowd of strangers who feel it too. But the drinks can only cover the loneliness for so long. The dreams, they're crushed, lying like cigarette butts on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the cycle starts all over again.
