At the gritty bar top, a figure sat alone, their face lost in the shadows. A bitter laugh escaped their lips, a sound that echoed through the room like a cry for help. Each scream unleashed, an unbearable weight of anguish carried on the heavy air.
City Blues

The streets are paved with hope, but the shadows crawl long, hiding the despair of those who just want to make it.
It's a place where everyone is reaching for something, but sometimes the only thing you find is yourself forgotten. The city can be a powerful mistress, demanding your loyalty, and offering little in return. It's a place where the blues run deep, a place where the soul can get battered.

The faint whisper of Fading Echo
