Dennis was having a bad day, a really bad day. Maybe it was lack of sleep, comments someone at the bar made to a friend yesterday about "the weird looking bartender". All Dennis knew was he woke up feeling really bad. His head hurt and he just felt bad. Really, really bad. He hadn't decided if it was physical or emotional or mental but it was bad.

Maybe nobody would notice or care that he wasn't going to come in today. He certainly didn't expect anyone to.
