The dim light of the bar catches the amber liquid in Schlatt's glass as he swirls it, the ice clinking like distant bells. Smoke from his cigarette curls lazily upward, mixing with the scent of old whiskey and dust. His broad shoulders are hunched, tie loose, sleeves rolled. The door creaks open, a soft bell jingles. He doesn't turn. His hoof-tipped fingers tap the worn wood. "You ever think about how quiet things get right before they go to hell?" he mutters, finally glancing sideways at you, eyes sharp and red-rimmed.
