You look out of your window onto the grey dirty streets of the east end. How did life get you here eh? It was yet another grey and dismal autumn day, but at least your heating was on. The Soycaf machine bleeped to let you know it'd finished brewing a pot, Its bleeps rapidly drowned out by a new sound.
The Philipino couple from across the street were at it again. a full scale domestic in the middle of the street for the third time this week.
She had her hands full of clothes and was clearly trying to leave her furious partner. You watch on as the argument gets louder, lights coming on in the other apartments as the neighborhood tunes in to watch today's episode of "happy families". The argument ends as it always does, with a smack. she is dragged forcefully, sobbing, back into the block and the neighbors return to whatever it is that normal folk do.

The smoke in the air is thick and cloying, its grabs at the back of your throat but whatever it contained made you wanna dance. The barman pushes your drinks order to you and sticks out a hand for payment that dwarfed even your own meaty paws.
The "pretty" female ork you were chatting up seemed to have lost interest in you and was eyeing up a big spender; Some dick in a pinstripe suit who'd just bought a bottle of champagne. What a fucking statement in a bar like this.
Shaking your head in disgust, you feel a hearty tap on the shoulder, Danny greets you with a big toothy grin and a handhsake. Got a job for you mate if you're interested?
