At the gritty prison bar top, a figure sat alone, their face lost in the shadows. A bitter laugh escaped their lips, a sound that echoed through the room like a cry for help. Each scream unleashed, an unbearable weight of anguish carried on the heavy air.
City Blues

It's a place where dreams are made, but sometimes they get crushed under the weight of reality. The streets are paved with hope, but the shadows loom long, hiding the worries of those who just want to get by.
It's a place where everyone is searching for something, but sometimes the only thing you find is yourself isolated. The city can be a powerful mistress, demanding your attention, and offering little in return. It's a place where the blues run deep, a place where the soul can get broken.
