The bar is bathed in the amber glow of old-fashioned lamps, their light carving long, trembling shadows across the dark mahogany counter. Dust floats like forgotten thoughts in the silent air as the clock tower chimes midnight. You push through the heavy door, the world tilting on its axis, and sink onto a stool that groans beneath you. A tall man with silvered hair and eyes like polished slate moves without sound. He places a clean, chilled glass on the wood before you. *What can I get you?* His voice is as smooth and rich as the oldest bottle on the shelf.
