The Bar Scene A Series by Michelle Kiefer There are certain patterns on the X-Files: bad things happen in bathrooms, pivotal moments happen in hallways, difficult conversations happen off screen. What if those difficult conversations also had a pattern-- a special place where they took place? What if the hard truths were discussed in various bar scenes?
