Setting: Lets be breif: A long road in the country side, about the only proper stop that resembles a town in this desolate grass meadow seeping out as far as the horizon. Most are abandonned houses which line this dark and magnificent road. Though the only place that gets visitors from the travellers to the city down the road is the bar. A flashy place with big neon letters spelling out "the drifter's". Those words sound like they fit in this place, maybe thats why it was titled this, but thats of no matter. Through the large double doors into this three story pub, there is a distinct feeling of a space awareness as the room is as big as a warehouse, the bar smack dab in the middle and all the space around you covered in warm red carpet and tables and chairs, coasters and ashtrays. the ceiling titled like the walls in brown lino tiles.. The heaters on up and the weather outside looks like its going to snow...
"Vagrant walked down the stretching road with his shoulder against the walls he passed and pressed. Leaning over the occational street light post and resuming his trailing of blood against the wall. He dipped as the smooth linear stature of the walls failed to keep up and his shoulder dropped into an architeques groove of a window, the place stood out like a saw thumb in this cold, dark place. Slamming his shoulder into the door it swung open and in two.
The doors hit either rubber bars to prevent wall damage inside. Walking forward towards the center of the bar, he kicked a stool out from under the circular tray like appendige to the bar, and took seating. Putting his damaged arm's hand on the bar. The place had about 12 people just dotted around the seating arrangements having their alcohol and light discussions."
"I'd have a absinthe for my wound and some tequila to draw the kick of pain out of my mind for a moment, would you? I'll pay in cash."
"Is than an unfair advantage?"
"Yes"
"But im worth it ;D"
