Dan walk quickly down the street, trying to put as much distance between him and his school. He hated it there, the people, the work the whole place. He was supposed to be a lawyer, but he didn't actually want to be, it was a last second decision that he ended up regretting. All the other kids in his class were super smart and knew what they were doing, while dan sat at the back daydreaming the day away. He had been falling behind in his work and it stressed him out even more than everything else.

Dan slowed down as he turned the corner onto a quiet road, he sighed as he thought about what he was going to do with his life when he felt a small, cold drip of water land onto his cheek. Looking up to check if it was just from a rooftop dan saw a big, grey cloud looming over his head. All of a sudden rain came crashing down, soaking him in a instant. Dan pulled his hood up, he didn't mind the rain, it calmed him. As dan continued down the street his eyes caught sight of a small bar, it had been there for a while but he had never really noticed it before. The front of the bar was worn down and in big red neon lights on the front said '2022 bar' it was kind of a weird name for an old bar seeing as 2022 was in the future. But dan didn't really think much of it after that and continued to walk down the street.

As he got to his small dingey apartment dan pulled a key out of his coat poket and turned it inside the lock, opening the door with a Creek dan switched on the light. It took a while for the yellowish light to flicker on. The light hummed continously, but that didn't bother dan anymore. Going into the kitchen and opening the cupboard dan pull out a cup of instant noodles for his dinner. Pouring in the hot water dan pushed the cup aside and leaned again the counter. Running his fingers through his brown curly hair, the rain had made it wavyer then usual. Pulling off his jacket dan tossed it to the side along with his black jeans. Pulling on a t shirt and pajamas bottoms dan sat down on the sofa with his noodles and began to flick through the few channels he had.

Dans apartment was small but it was all he could afford at the moment. Dan began to slowly slip into a dreamless sleep when he all of a sudden shot up, he had no idea why but all of a sudden dan had a gut feeling he had to go to the old bar. Now.
