Hamilton Writer's fun and games!

Words chosen randomly: Dive, springtime face, comfortable, and "look what I can do!"

Result:

"Look what I can do!" the chick at the end of the bar slurred excitedly, popping a cherry stem into her mouth. I settled further into my comfortable booth at the back of the dive. My favourite spot for watching the drunks at play. "It's better than television", I tell people. The girl's face twists and contorts unnoticed by her boyfriend whose eyes are glued to the game on the big screen TV. The springtime sun blares into the dim and smoky room as the heavy door swings open and a man with the face of a boxer who's taken too many hits swaggers in. His nose at an awkward angle and his left eye drooping beneath a heavy lid, his ill-fitting suit looks like it came out of a dumpster but he holds his head high like a man who doesn't realize he's fallen on hard times.
