NEW PROMPT: It's 1:30am and the Hunsucker Bar's bartender has announced last call. Write a short story or poem about the people left inside the bar before closing. Who are they, and why are they there??? Only rule is you must use Hunsucker Bar as the name of the bar. LAST CALL AT THE HUNSUCKER BAR! I am the senior waitress at the old Hunsucker Bar! And each night, at "last call" time, I am hangin' round the jar that my customers drop my tips in--boy, are they stingy and almost not worth the trouble that nightly, they cause me!! There's Georgie-what a nutcase! She drinks her beer by the case! And, old Milton--he drinks gin in an effort to erase the sorrows his life has dragged him through without easing up! And Mikey, he drinks bourbon and water from his own cup!! These regulars are nuts, and they come to drown their sorrows in their effort to hide pain that shoots through all tomorrows!
