A kid drinks alone at a bar on his birthday, frustrated that he hasn't written anything of value at the 25 year mark of his life. The bartender, knowing the feeling of lonely birthdays suggests he write about something he knows. The kid agrees he should, but says no one wants to read about anything that's ever happened to him. In an attempt to inspire the Kid, the Bartender pretends to find a loaded gun in the bathroom. But when the Kid gets his hands on the gun and bullets fly, the Bartender and the Kid both share an experience that will change their lives forever.
