The Empty Glass

[GBE]

((This is a work in progress, and I've had a lot of inspiration pile into me recently, so I'm hoping something might pay off. This might be just the thing to kick start something. I'd appreciate comments in this thread kept to a minimum maybe, but I'll be happy to receive and respond to all PM's. Suggestions, criticisms and what not are fully welcome. Anything that'll help me get this thing going. All I've got for now is a short story, but I might end up with more or maybe run a common theme amongst them all. Anyways, on with the show (work in progress)...

I also apologize for any rude language used, its purely for the story content... I do provide a mature content warning!

Hoo-ooo-ooo Hoo-ooo-ooo

An old man taps his foot in the background to the beat

Hoo-ooo-ooo Hoo-ooo-ooo

He's leaning against the bar, a whiskey in one hand, a cigarette in the other

Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo

A man enters the bar and looks around. The old man doesn't turn to loo, but some of the regulars do

Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo

The new comer approaches the bar and taps once on the bar for the bar keeper to serve him. The barkeeper turns around and begins walking towards the newcomer

Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo

The newcomer goes to ask for his order, but the old man shushes him before he can even open his mouth. He does change his view point, the whiskey glass in his hand resting on the bar

Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo

The comer looks annoyed, he goes to speak again, but is shushed again. He realises the barkeeper is nodding for him to stay quiet and points at the jukebox. The newcomer looks more annoyed

Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo

About to open his mouth again, he's shushed once more. Lifting of the bar, he stares at the old man and then walks towards the jukebox

Please don't leave me

Suddenly the music cuts out. Everybody turns and looks at him bar the old man. "Thank god that shits off, I might be able to get a drink in this fuckin' dive." He approaches the bar, and stands next to the old man again, "Fuckin' shush me with that old rubbish playing?! You need to get a life old man. Barkeep, bourbon on the rocks, make it a double."

The old man hasn't even turned, but before the newcomer realises it, the old man is swinging his glass of whiskey into his face. The come comer drops to the floor screaming. The old man picks up a stool and drives a leg through the new comers chest. Without blinking, "Never insult the Blues. If there's one thing that you never do is insult the Blues." The old man casually walks out of the bar, leaving everyone in the bar staring at the entrance through which the old man left....
