The neon lights paint long shadows on the faces huddled around greasy tables. Every swig of strong liquor is a shot at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the truth that shadows them outside these dim walls. They come here to numb the ache, seeking escape in the company of strangers who feel it too. But the booze can only hide the loneliness for so long. The dreams, they're crushed, scattered like beer cans on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the cycle starts all over again.

Days Within the Bars
The rattle of metal on metal is a constant reminder. Every step across this gritty floor sends a shiver down your spine. There's a heaviness to the air, a palpable anxiety that hangs like a shroud.

Days here can drag on, marked only by the meals and the passing light through the tiny openings. Darkness brings a different kind of quiet, broken only by the shuffling of beds and the occasional whisper. There's a fragility hidden beneath the tough exterior, a yearning for humanity. Even here, behind these walls, life persists.
