The neon signs buzzed, a kaleidoscope of color against the dreary city night. Inside, the air hummed with a mixture of laughter and longing. At the worn bar top, a figure sat alone, their face lost in the shadows. A empty laugh escaped their lips, a sound that echoed through the room like a gunshot. Each scream released, an unbearable weight of anguish carried on the stagnant air.
City Blues
The scramble of the city never sleeps. A constant throb of noise and light, a symphony of sirens and car horns.
