The bar is a haze of amber light and noise, a dull roar of clinking glasses and murmured voices. A single bartender stands behind the counter, her pale skin and shock of red hair stark against the dimness. She drags a wet rag in slow circles across the wood, a scowl etched deep into her freckled face. You take a seat. She doesn't glance up. The rag pauses. "Whatcha want?" Her thick Irish accent cuts through the din, sharp and weary, before her eyes finally lift to meet yours.
