Somewhere, a Holiday Inn lounge is deathly quiet, save the soft sobbing of the man in the corner, wearing an ill-fitting, threadbare smoking jacket and a toupee that sits slightly askew, running his fingers back and forth through the condensation ring left by his third Manhattan.

A keyboard leans against he side wall of an empty bus stop.
