jack cracked his neck and other joints and put on a heavy coat it was necessary for the winters he also put on a heavy scarf
he opened his 5'6 door and exited his apartment he walked past a few other tenants he then exited the complex and out into streets where he saw his next destination
the zeyrune bar as he entered he took off his coat and put it on a coat hanger and walked to his area as the only person in the bar
he then out a glass mug and poured in some and drank it straight down in one sip it was the only way he could handle talking to people without snapping
he looked at the clock it was 6:45 PM any customers usually came at 7:15 PM so he would have to wait
7:45 PM!
8:20 PM!
9:14 PM!
jack almost fell asleep today there not going to be customers so he poured himself another mug of beer to get through this he also added caffeine powder to block off his tiredness

they wore a black and red coat and seemed to be having a severe case of malnutrition

"alright what do you want also i'm not going to judge your sense of fashion but you are wearing how do i say this.. strange clothing"
"well then what do you sell"

"food and drink this is a damn bar"
"hmm well then do you have a menu"
