Respect spirals downwards with your drift towards an empty wallet. Days go by and your transactions turn to old notes , then coins. Inn the end, you hardly can afford a cigarette stick.

Before you know it, you are lighting the distillery fire for a bonus of left-over food in addition to booze. And respect shall desert you. And memories linger on. Of the good old days and the journey to the distillery, a haunting flashback.
