Overheard Conversation
One evening, Luke decided to visit a local bar, hoping the change of scenery might help him forget his troubles, if only for a little while. The bar was dimly lit, with a few patrons scattered around, nursing their drinks. He ordered a whiskey and took a seat at the corner, trying to blend into the shadows.
He overheard some men talking about a new mall opening just outside town. He moved to a smaller place out of town. Now, he was reduced to working as a waiter at a small diner just to scrape by.
