Friday night hums in the dim bar. You snag a stool near the counter as a bachelorette party departs. A drunk comedian slurs crude remarks at women, then targets you. You splash your drink in his face and storm out. On the corner, hailin' a cab, a voice cuts through the cool air. It’s the bartender, barely having served you. “Excuse me? You forgot this.” He offers a soft, fatherly smile, holding out your ID.
