I stood there, The lights reaching the underside of the doorstep on which I stood, staring at the large black door, cold and metallic by design, yet warm and inviting to the many guests within, I heard the beat of that music echoing through my ears, the pulsing of the crowd, shoulder to shoulder running in the same path as my heartbeat. As I managed to pull the door open, and step inside, the sudden rush of body heat hitting me as if I had stepped into hell itself, I walked as close to the bar as I could, before someone bumped into my arm, and I let out a slight yelp, my arm bound from shoulder to elbow in a homemade sling, reaking of booze and pride, I sat down at the bar, and the young man on the opposite looked dead at me, expressionless, as the lights appeared to dance apon his face,." what do you want?" he casually asked, as he apparently had done hundreds or thousands of times before, completely oblivious as to age, and not appearing to have a shred of care in the matter. "Coke, I'll have rum and coke." My head hung low on the bartop as he fetched my sustinance as if I had allready had more than my share of drinks, my skull throbbing like a waterballoon was ready to burst within, busting at the seems, my jaw heavy, my cheek swollen, and the cold drink agenst my face felt like bliss, a welcome feeling indeed."Like a mothers hug" I let a sigh of relief as the bartender gave me an awkward arched eyebrow, I slid 3 dollars across the bartop, making it wet with the condensation allready atop the finely crafted wood, gave him a smirk "just forget it.."I sat there for several minutes, watching the glass clink and shuffle within the glass, then turned around on the stool, watching the happy, careless souls dancing and passing, talking about their simple lives and having a grand time, I sighed once more, this time in a more desperate manner than the first,setting my drink apon the oaktop and turning around, and allmost as quickly as the next air left my lungs, that large, leather arm reached across the bar,grabbing a bottle of tequila, as a figure sat down besides me. "Your back." the figure said, pushing the greasy clumps of hair away from his face, and tapping his boots to the music under the bar, making a hideous clicking noise agenst the hollow frames of the barstool. "Yup.. just enjoying a drink" .. he looked at me, surprised at my answer at first, before giving a shitheeled grin and extending a hand to pull my jacket open, exposing my sling "Heh,you should give up while your ahead, It appears I broke your arm in our last meeting by the river." he laughed and slammed the tequila on bar, giving me a light punch in the shoulder, then all was silent, the music appeared to die out , the heartbeat of a thousand souls was heard in that moment, I chuckled instead of crying, and looked out of the corner of my eye, the hair obstructing my veiw " no.. you didnt" the colt came out of my inner coat pocket the sling hitting the ground, the cold blue steel barrel pressed agenst his forehead, My feet hit the ground, the crowd yelled to see the glint of prominant divine steel death, "nice disquise huh" I smiled in the same manner I did when I finished his partners, the smell of urine filling the air, smothering the decay of liquor, puddles forming down his pantlegs,the hammer came back, I was eager to pull that tiny peice of one inch steel, just to teach him a lesson. and I did just that.The hammer slammed foward, a click rolled forth from the tunneled barrel, I smiled again, and walked to the front door again, I looked over my shoulder and looked back at the man who soiled himself "Thanks for the drink, buddy".. then I stepped out into the brisk night, looking up at the starry, dancing sky, then hailing a cab, I stepped into the yellow transport, the breaklights glaring agenst snow "Where to pal?"...I looked at him, unsure of my destination, the sunk into the leather seating "Anywhere but here..anywhere but here..."
