on the mirror behind the bar. Rain drums against the window, the tap-tap-tap creating a smooth, relaxing rhythm. "Damn, I missed this city," he murmurs just under his breath, looking outside onto Decatur street. “So many good memories…” He downs the last swig of his drink. “One more, Frank,” he says. “Sure thing.” The bartender pours his usual Myers and Coke and slides it to the man. He absent-mindedly swirls the glass with both hands while staring down at the bar, recalling that night...…

OWLS. Now what makes me call my place owls is because who doesn’t love the owl and who doesn’t love the who. It’s a mix of a wing joint and a casual restaurant all wrapped in one. The type of operation that owls is a casual restaurant. It also has a bar that allows people to come and relax and have a drink. The location that owls is place is Denver on 16th street. The reason I chose Denver Is because it a hot city that is growing at a steady speed and its showing no sign of slowing down yet.…

Representing Jon Doe is Casey Mason who during his trial is faced with a situation that puts his personal and professional ethics to the test. Lawyers are expected to apply their legal knowledge to resolve individual problems, or to advance the interests of those who hire lawyers to carry out legal services. When individual clients, or businesses hire lawyers, they do so under the impression that the lawyer will work in the best interest of his client and the case will result in the most…

The old man sits on the porch. Maryland summers are classified somewhere under humid subtropical and humid continental but all the man feels is the accumulation of perspiration around his temples. The man in the neighboring balcony smokes. He had moved in a few weeks ago, and that’s all anyone seems to know about him. On some days, he is a rather cynical character of piercing stares, loud sneers, and cigarette smoke sputtering out of his mouth when he scoffs. On others, he’s the elegant,…

First set of 10 reps is 135 pounds on the bar, followed by 25 push ups. Because I am stronger than Bobby, I finish my sets first then he does his, instead of moving the weights back and forth. After 4 sets of 10, increasing the weight each time, I am unable to do even 5 push ups. Now it is Bobby's…

the air, the lights remain dim, even Clyde resumes his duties behind the bar. Yet the unsettling sense of something missing continues to gnaw at me. Of course, it's Angelo's absence, I didn't realise his presence gave so much influence to the club, such a strange sensation, like the heart of the club, has been removed, leaving it lifeless. I have to wonder if anyone else senses this, or only me? I find myself drawn to the bar, to the seat I first found Angelo sitting. As I approach, my mind…

It was a rainy night, an overcast kind of night as a lot of teens and young adults crowded outside Brooklyn’s “Baby’s All Right” waiting to be let in. “Baby’s All Right” is a bar, diner, and music venue all in one, with it’s stage and floor situated in the back. The stage has speakers, microphones, drums, turntables guitars and so forth situated on it. As we all waited patiently in the rain for what seemed forever they finally began to check tickets and let people funnel into the back. Walking…

Since my first GCSE Law lesson, I have been captivated by the subject's diverse array of fields and its tight grip on how society is run. Law allows our country to function, decides for us what is right or wrong and allows justice to be available for whoever seeks it, hence why I want to study law as a degree. When I visited Winchester Crown Court I was fascinated at how a barrister can so greatly influence the sentence and future of a defendant in just a few words. I want a career where my…

I was drunk, I admitted finally, pulling my sluggish and poisoned body off the linoleum -- or was it Formica? -- dance floor as the young crowd continued to surge to the beat of some pop song. I have to sober up, I told myself as I fumbled around down the red velvet-lined hallway, passing couples in various stages of coitus, my sharp heels digging into the out-of-date, musty shag carpet and generally making it impossible for someone as inebriated as I was to exit with grace or dignity. Whatever…
