absinthe always keeps her eyes on unfamiliar people who find themselves in the snake pit. like a seasoned predator, her stalking grounds lie behind the bar, and her prey beyond it. it is not out of wariness that she does this. it is, perhaps, out of bloodlust. so, as the stranger sits, and as he orders, and as he places a coin on the freshly polished countertops, he might feel her eyes boring into him, as if in an attempt to peel back the layers of minutiae he presents to the world beyond his subconscious. the squeak of a wet glass being dried by a towel fills the silence between them.[break][break]

the woman makes no effort to turn and begin making his drink when he requests it, and the only sign that she had heard him at all is the subtle tilt of her head to the side. setting down the glass she had been drying on the countertop in front of her, absinthe takes the coin into her hand and holds it up in front of her face. then, with an inscrutable expression, she palms it.[break][break]

"starting a tab," she begins, voice low and cold. "implies a level of trust. trust, as you may well know, is a luxury and privilege few can afford."[break][break]

absinthe places the coin in her pocket. "if you prove yourself worthy of the privilege, you may open a tab," she says. "until then, you pay for the drinks when you order them. the whiskey, still?"[break][break]

the sound of clinking bottles fills the bar's tepid atmosphere as absinthe bends down to search her stock.

music theory states that much of music consists of a call and a response, of a question and an answer. chemistry is much the same. there is a reactant, the question, and it forms a product, an answer. in an acid-base reaction, the acid donates a proton, the call, and the base accepts it, the response.[break][break]

but where music is predictable, controllable, in chemistry, sometimes there are calls with no responses, and answers with no questions. mess up on the piano and risk covered ears. mess up with a beaker, and risk an explosion. perhaps, then, chemistry is more like a melody played by the world. absinthe's entire existence has been dedicated to listening to this tune, to parsing it, to understanding the song that flutters beneath the tangled weave of life itself.[break][break]

sometimes, she fails. there is a call, and there is no response.[break][break]

the snake pit is a hole in the wall that locals whisper to each other about. they say the owner is woman with no face, but that their drinks are never empty, and they never leave without feeling better than when they came in.[break][break]

the snake pit has a kitchen, but there is no food menu.[break][break]

sometimes, when the bar is closed and the people have left for the day, people hear an answer from within, and they're left to wonder if they heard a question beforehand.
