night closing down around you

The city turned that motel into a halfway house. Across the parking lot from the Denny's. In the evening, you might see ladies leaving the Denny's with take-out orders in styrofoam trays, heading back to the motel for food and NatGeo on the TV and not thinking about substances and past mistakes, settling into a hopefully uneventful evening of peaceful rest.
