November fog clings to Birmingham’s cobblestones like a second skin, deadening the clatter of hooves and the distant rumble of factory machines. Gas lamps flicker, casting long, distorted shadows across the wet brickwork. Somewhere, a door slams. You pull your coat tighter against the biting chill, your boots crunching scattered leaves along the pavement. Then, a thread of jazz escapes through a half-open door — warm, inviting, defiant against the gloom. You push inside. The jukebox glows, smoke curls lazily, and eyes turn toward you. you, what brings you here tonight?
