The flickering neon sign of the dive bar cast an eerie glow on the street. Inside, Leo’s graffiti art adorned the back wall. He stood, his chest swelling with something akin to pride, staring at the vibrant explosion of color, the way his work transformed the grimy space.

His heart thrummed in his chest. A waitress set a shot glass of something strong on the bar and with a grin, he threw it back. He couldn't keep the smile from cracking his face. He felt on top of the world.

The bar was packed and people were pointing. He never would have given permission for the use of his work, but now, seeing it here, he wouldn't change a thing.
