The Girl at the Bar

The Girl at the Bar is a simple story that explores love, friendship, and family. Within a basic framework of boy-meets-girl-at-bar, I wanted to explore the conflicted feelings of finding love in the midst of bad/unusual circumstances, and love-hate relationships with alcohol.
The illustrations for the story were done by Luis Mendo, and the idea was born of a social-media story revolving around the bartender -- a story you can read on the app I work as editor on, LongShorts.

Nice selection of music "Waltz for Debby"! That was fitting nicely into your story. For me, this is kind of a story I want to read before falling asleep on the bed quietly :)
So good!
Was saving this for a few moments when I could properly concentrate while reading it. Glad I did - absolutely beautiful writing! And of course, accompanied by fantastic visuals!
