The neon lights cast long shadows on the silhouettes huddled around greasy tables. Every swig of strong liquor is a shot at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the reality that shadows them outside these shadowy walls. They come here to lose themselves, seeking escape in the murmurs of strangers who understand. But the liquor can only mask the emptiness for so long. The dreams, they're broken, lying like cigarette butts on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the cycle starts all over again.

Days Within the Bars
The echo of metal on metal is a constant reminder. Every step across this concrete floor casts a shiver down your spine. There's a heaviness to the air, a palpable tension that hangs like a shroud. The faces you encounter are etched with experiences, some hardened by pain, others masked with an unyielding hope.
Days here can drag on, marked only by the meals and the passing light through the tiny windows. Darkness brings a different kind of stillness, broken only by the shifting of cots and the occasional grunt. There's a vulnerability hidden beneath the tough exterior, a yearning for humanity. Even here, behind these walls, life persists.
