I watched, as the man at the end of the bar threw back shot after shot. After only twenty minutes, the full bottle he'd been drinking from was almost empty.

His eyes, emerald green, were bloodshot. His face was pale. He looked like death reincarnated.

Slowly, I approached him. I stood there. I couldn't seem to find the words I'd wanted to ask.

He chuckled. "You'd be drinking, too, if you were the only survivor."
