Manhattan Bar and Lounge

[Ash]

After some time Tom notices a man stumble out of the door. He appeared to be in a certain amount of pain. For a moment he half expected him to collapse under his knees, the man steadied himself up against the doorframe before turning his head to face across the street and catch a glance from Tom's eyes. Tom helled his stare for a few seconds before the man turned his head back to face his destination and set out across the street. Tom took a final drag from his cigarette and stubbed it out on a bollard nearby. As the man dissapeared off into the rain Tom turned to walk back inside.

He then drifted past the bar and ordered a drink and nabbed a news paper from an unaware customer before returning back to his table at the back of the room.
