The Alibi Room is the bar where he met her, the love of his life. It was dark, small, and a nice place to get away. The brown wooden bar set, to the chairs with the red cushions on them, and the always playing jukebox. This bar is memorable not only for him but for my family as well.
His right hand held a secure grip around the glass of scotch, along with a cigarette in his left. It was like these objects were a part of him and if he let go he’d lose a piece of himself. He took one gulp and finished off the glass, then soon after, he took one last puff from his cigarette.
“Keep them coming, Art,” he spoke across the bar. The bartender poured more of the brown liquid into his glass. He tilted it towards Art as if he were toasting to something, then took a sip. As it hit his mouth, his lips curled and he swallowed, the glass still clutched in his hand.
John had spent every birthday at this bar since he was thirteen years old, that being said, this year was no exception. John sat at the same black leather booth, with the same short, rounded black table, drank the exact same Glenfiddich scotch, and ordered from the exact same bartender every year. You’d think he would spend his birthdays with multiple friends and or family at his house or a small party place, but that was not the case. John’s birthdays were always a party of one. Two if you count Art, the bartender.
Art had been at the bar for years, far longer than John could remember. Everyone in town didn’t just know Art
“You’re going to love it. They are so much fun!” Emme told her. Emme had been to the Escape Room once before, but now they were saving the Titanic from sinking.
From what listeners can hear about the man’s current life, he looks for happiness in his life and he goes to the bar and gets drunk to cope with the fact that he will not be getting those day back.
Without doubt, it is quite obvious that many citizens do not know their rights. This can even be made worse when these citizens are criminals or suspects in a crime. There is always this public perception that criminals have no rights and should have no rights. The police, even knowing that this is not the case, may often tend to bypass the rights of a criminal in a bid to resolve a case quickly and as a result, may subject the individual to illegal interrogation and coerce them into obtaining a confession by illegal means.

“Yes!” Luke was fighting to keep from screaming at the older man, his voice coming out in a hiss instead of a yell.
Hemingway (1964) wrote in A Moveable Feast, “In Europe then we thought of wine as something healthy and normal as food and also as a great giver of happiness and well-being and delight” (p. 142). Numerous pieces of literature are ripe with references to alcohol and drinking. As a young Ernest Hemingway sat for hours in Parisian cafés and bars, he would drink and socialize among other artists and writers. In searching for new experiences and inspiration through the evocative sights and heavy consumption of alcohol, Hemingway and many of his young expatriate cohorts were labeled as the “lost generation.” This group of young
So kiss my tongue, make everything better Show me you'll be with me forever Still, our happy days will never be granted ‘Cus even if it’s never said, I know it’s true; You want me dead I’m afraid of flowers wilting away when I don’t get to say goodbye

It is six thirty in the evening. I walk into a pub on Madison Avenue, shutting the door behind and plunging into a blur of blissful silence. The pub is mostly deserted, except for an old man with ears pointier than my own nose. He is reading a paper and frowning, and he oddly reminds me of Yoda. He turns to me, smiles and nods in acknowledgement, before hopping down from the stool and hobbling out into the evening. And then there is the bartender whose real name is Andy, but I call him the bartender who does not drink. See, he had stopped drinking, albeit temporarily, back in May.
Drinking wouldn 't make what he had to do any easier, but he downed the cheap whiskey anyway, relishing the familiar burn as it made its way down his throat. One swallow, two, and then he hurled the empty glass at the wall, watching dispassionately as it shattered all over the floor.
Here I am, sound asleep when, “AHHHHHHHH!”. Of course, anything could and would wake me up since the street benches aren’t very comfortable, but this was different. Eventually, the scream was followed by what sounded like people sprinting. Of course, I got up and started looking around. While there are normally sirens or the occasional bark of a dog, there isn’t a ton of noise around here at this time. I can’t see much because of it being early and how dark it is, but I can see well enough to tell that there were about 3 shadowy figures running down the street, chasing after someone. It all happens so fast. Before I know it, one of the figures is on the ground, pinned by someone, and another is on a phone calling someone. Police maybe? Yep. Definitely police. They were here almost immediately and were already loading the one on the ground into the cop car.
