Dazed and confused

''I've been here before..'' as I inhale deeply.
''These city walls have gotten to me again'' I drop off some ash from my lit cigarette into the white bone ashtray.
The ashtray looked relatively normal, with the exception of the outer face of the ashtray has been carved in some handmade tribal fashion.

''I've been here before... It sometimes really gets to me.''

I finish off the cigarette and take my feet off the table to reach for the whiskey bottle on my desk with a glass next to it.

I had a full bottle of champagne on my desk, I didn't bother to open it, there's just nothing to celebrate. But the ice inside the bucked is definitely going to be useful.

I took some ice and made myself whiskey on the rocks.

''... I've been working from seven seven seven to eleven every night it kinda makes my life a drag...'' 

''What a song... just what I needed, extra reasons..''

There hasn't been a case in weeks. I was starting to dry up on my savings and was getting worried about paying off last months rent and getting more food to survive....

I fixed myself a drink; some ice, whiskey and a mint leaf.

I rocked back into my leather chair and kicked my feet on the table.
The drink was on my lap.

I stared into the city lights then took a sip of whiskey.

''Ahhh...'' I sighed as I relaxed myself.
