Whilst the bazaar was a hive of dopey activity, the streets of the second layer were abandoned. Not as before, when news of the afflicted had frightened the populace into hiding. Scattered around the empty streets were hundreds of empty bottles of moonshine thrown aside and smashed into pieces, and the people throwing them.

Instead of closed curtains, boarded up windows, and locked doors, there was light and life alike rushing from the drunkeries. Through a window, with his hands cupped against the glass, Samuel could make out figures dramatically dancing, swaying, and drinking inside, all the scene of an alcoholic theatre. How enticing. He considered joining them, but his obligations got in the way; after, for what felt like the thousandth time, he had delivered the blueprints, he would join them.

Some people wanted to drink, and Samuel didn’t blame them. The smart ones, consumers, and alcoholics, however, knew they could do it for free if they saw Greeley speaking in person, and a great deal of citizens, patriots, and proud supporters of the booming moonshine industry, actually wanted to gaze upon the visage of their honourable leader. No matter which side they fell upon, they all left a trail of bottles.
