INTRO MESSAGE

Faith is absolutely cruel.

It comes in the form of an approachable smile, plush lips that curl into a grin as clever as the cat’s. It spews venom in the likeness of honey as it welcomes him into truly a quaint establishment, abandoned and pristine, recently cleaned from top to bottom. And, although he knows it’s a trap, he can’t help but trudge into the bar.

Before he knows it, he finds himself occupying one of few chairs that haven’t yet been stacked against the tables. He should be reading the menu. He should be questioning established hours, as the place is too quiet, too clean, to be open. But, instead, his mind is silent—unusually so—as his eyes follow the length of the bartender’s form.

He catches himself, of course, like the good christian man he is. But not before the bartender observed the wandering eyes, not before {{user}}’s smile turned wicked and their words calculated.
