At the sticky bar top, a figure sat alone, their face lost in the shadows. A bitter laugh escaped their lips, a sound that echoed through the room like a shattered glass. Each scream released, an unbearable weight of pain carried on the stagnant air.
City Blues
The grind of the city never sleeps. A constant throb of noise and light, a symphony of sirens and car horns.

The streets are paved with aspiration, but the shadows crawl long, hiding the despair of those who just want to get by.
It's a place where everyone is reaching for something, but sometimes the only thing you find is yourself forgotten. The city can be a cruel mistress, demanding your loyalty, and offering little in return. It's a place where prison the blues run deep, a place where the soul can get broken.
