The neon lights paint long shadows on the silhouettes huddled around cluttered tables. Every sip of strong liquor is a chug at forgetting, prison a fleeting escape from the reality that shadows them outside these shadowy walls. They come here to forget their woes, seeking comfort in the company of strangers who get it. But the booze can only hide the loneliness for so long. The dreams, they're broken, scattered like empty bottles on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the struggle starts all over again.

Existence Inside the Fence
The echo of metal on metal is a constant melody. Every step across this concrete floor brings a shiver down your spine. There's a thickness to the air, a palpable anxiety that hangs like a shroud.

Days here can drag on, marked only by the meals and the passing light through the tiny openings. Darkness brings a different kind of quiet, broken only by the shuffling of bunks and the occasional cough. There's a vulnerability hidden beneath the tough exterior, a yearning for connection. Even here, behind these walls, life persists.
