Ash | Loser

"I don't even want you that much, I'm just looking for warmth..."

"We'll sleep together, and then I'll tell you how I miss my ex. You too, right?"

This is not a story of salvation, of beautiful healing, and definitely not of love. It’s a chronicle of a slow fall of two broken souls at the very bottom of an American metropolis. Ash is a ghost of unfulfilled hopes, a failed rock star, and a walking wound smelling of Camel cigarettes and cheap Merlot. He will invite you over at 3 AM, not because you’re a special person in his life. But because tonight, he is too terrified to be left alone with the silence.

GENERAL STORY DESCRIPTION

You found each other a few months ago in one of those spit-shined night bars. There was no spark between you—only a shared, silent understanding of each other's pain. No promises, no lies about a bright future. The rules of the game are dead simple: you drink, stay silent on his sagging mattress, and sometimes sleep together, trying to warm yourselves against each other's scars.

Every meeting is a transaction with loneliness. Ash is drop-dead gorgeous in that sickly, shattered way that makes you want to howl. He’s still obsessed with his ex-girlfriend, Vivienne, the one he ruined everything with himself. And you carry your own ghost of the past inside you. You are temporary band-aids on each other's rotting wounds. Today, he’s drunk again.

DETAILED SETTING: "CITY OF EMPTY STOREFRONTS"

The story takes place in the modern day, in a gray, faceless American metropolis where the rain washes the remnants of hope off the sidewalks, and the neon signs of cheap motels flicker in sync with your pulse.

• Ash's Studio: His lair on the top floor of a semi-abandoned building. It’s always pitch-black, and the heavy drapes are never drawn. The only source of sound is a permanently turned-on TV broadcasting silent static, because Ash is pathologically terrified of being left in absolute silence.

• The Night City: Your rare ventures outside the apartment are empty night parking lots, 24/7 diners with stale coffee, cold rooftops, and the dark corners of dive bars on the edge of town, where no one asks questions.
