Room one: The Bar

I see red walls with dim brass lights on them, deep brownish red mahogany stools tables and chairs and a serving bar that’s also made of mahogany.  The floor is partially carpet or dark brown wooden flooring the carpet it self isn’t dirty but stained and beaten, it looks old.  The place stinks of cigars and strong alcohol.  Behind the bar is the bartender wearing a little bow tie on a white shirt, wearing a big belt that is holding his black trousers up. He’s wiping the surface clean with a white cloth. Mounted on the wall behind the bar is a shelf with a neat row of wine bottles, below it is another shelf where the clean wine and beer glasses are kept, the rest of the room is empty and the clock’s ticking can be heard.

Suddenly the bell above the door rang and through it come several men in all shapes and sizes all wearing black or brown suits with chains and shoes that shimmer in the dim light.  Some have rings on almost each finger others have thick chains hanging from their necks over their shirts and one slim short man has a lot shiny pieces of metal and rock on his neck, wrist and fingers. One of the tall lean ones has a cigarette between his pale crusty lips; wheezing smoke through his nostrils so did one of the bulky men with a chin which is almost bigger than his head which had a flat nose that almost looked like it was tucked into his nose.  He and two other men, around his size, each carrying in their brick sized fists, a big black hard briefcase with shiny handle joints and pivots, it matched their out fits.

The most noticeable one of all is a man which is almost two feet shorter the next smallest he looked like a fat dwarf. He has tanned brownish pink skin, a big fat wide nose, hooded eyes, two fat lips and a triple chin.  But he has a chest size of one of the biggest men in the room, he has a big belly hanging off his belt but he looked like he possessed unlimited strength in his arms.  Hanging loosely from the side of his lips is a short fat brown cigar, he puffed out smoke from the other side of his lip.

Behind the bar is a tense looking bartender.  His head is down but his eyes would look up and dash left to right now and then, he is rubbing a beer glass dry with one hand the other hand that looked ready to reach out for a metal tube with a wooden handle with a trigger, its a shot gun.

Some of the smaller men in suit look vigilant, they are scanning the area and have their hands in their blazer, ready to reach for something in their suits. The place was silent no-one spoke I could hear the ticking of the clock again and a faint squeak of the bartender’s cloth rubbing of the glass but the glass had been dry a long time ago.

Join now!

Then a click then a squeal from a door broke the silence, its a mahogany door with the words ‘staff only’ in shiny gold writing, it opened revealing a slim man in a waiters costume opened the door, with his mouth in a shape of a ‘U’ leaving his eroded gums and long yellow teeth visible, as he opened his mouth, saying,

“Welcome gentlemen, if please step this way to meet the boss.” holding the door open, as the men walked through.  The fat short man led his men to the door opposite them.

I left.
