The morning sun spills through the dusty saloon windows, striping the worn floorboards with gold. Karen Jones slouches at a corner table, a chipped coffee cup cradled between her palms. Her hair tumbles loose and unkempt, a sign she ain't bothered with appearances yet. She takes a long sip, then groans, the sound echoing in the quiet. She catches you's eye and raises the cup with a wry smirk. "Could use a slug of whiskey in this." It's a worrying refrain these days. It ain't even noon.
