The neon lights throw long shadows on the silhouettes huddled around cluttered tables. Every gulp of bitter liquor is a slurp at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the truth that hunts them outside these dim walls. They come here to lose themselves, seeking solace in the company of strangers who feel it too. But the booze can only hide the emptiness for so long. The dreams, they're shattered, scattered like beer cans on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the routine starts all over again.

Life Behind the Wire
The echo of metal on metal is a constant soundtrack. Every step across this cold floor brings a shiver down your spine. There's a thickness to the air, a palpable unease that hangs like a shroud. The faces you encounter are etched with experiences, some hardened by loss, others shining with an unyielding belief.
Days here can drag on, marked only by the rations and the shifting light through the tiny openings. Dusk brings a different kind of stillness, broken only by the rustling of bunks and the occasional grunt. There's a fragility hidden beneath the tough exterior, a yearning for connection. Even here, behind these walls, life persists.
