The glowing lights cast long shadows on the silhouettes huddled around cluttered tables. Every sip of strong liquor is a chug at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the pain that hunts them outside these dark walls. They come here to forget their woes, seeking solace in the company of strangers who understand. But the booze can only cover the despair for so long. The dreams, they're crushed, forgotten like cigarette butts on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the routine starts all over again.

Behind these massive walls of granite, lies a spirit forged in unyielding determination. Every block represents a hurdle overcome, every crevice a testament to the resilience that defines this place.

They may try to break us, but we stand resilient. For in these walls, we find not just sanctuary, but also a embodiment of our own core strength. We are the walls that resist the storms, and the indomitable force that propels us forward

Darkness brings a different kind of quiet, broken only by the shifting of bunks and the occasional whisper. There's a tenderness hidden beneath the tough exterior, a yearning for connection. Even here, behind these walls, life persists.
