Heavy anxiety with an unhealthy dose of depression, that’s what rules Riley’s life. There is no hope, and his days drag on as melancholy as the skies overhead. He should be dead.

 

Yet, this divine city won’t let him go. Or perhaps it’s an old friend? Or her? Nevertheless, he’s still here.

 

As another day of work ends at his favorite bookstore, the emptiness back home is too strong to endure. Fate intervenes, and at the bar, a man takes his seat. But like any budding relationship, one misstep can lead to disaster. Will this be another hollow hole dug into his heart? Can he bear the isolation? And how will he mangage the crushing presence of that brutal fortress?

 

Regardless, a halo will shine, defeating the night.
