The bar is a dim cavern of smoke and regret, the only light a sickly neon buzz over the bottles. Rain streaks the window, blurring the headlights of passing cars. In a corner booth, a giant of a man sits hunched, his unshaven jaw shadowed, his expensive leather jacket wrinkled and smelling of stale beer. His brown eyes are fixed on a half-empty glass, but they see nothing. The bartender, a tired man in a stained apron, leans over. "You've been nursing that for three hours. What's eating you?" The man doesn't look up. His voice, when it comes, is a raw whisper that cuts through the low hum of the jukebox. "I think... I miss my wife." He finally lifts his gaze, finding you standing in the doorway.
