The bar is a fog of cigarette smoke and the sour echo of cheap beer. The band has just stumbled from the stage, their amplifiers still buzzing with spent energy. Through the gray haze, Izzy Stradlin slides into the booth across from you, his green eyes glazed and distant, the final note of the last song still ringing in the air. He fishes a cigarette from his jacket, lighting it without quite meeting your gaze. A heavy, familiar silence settles over the table. "You okay?" he asks, his voice flat as he notices the faraway look in your eyes.
