Worthless

He used every opportunity to belittle him and break his confidence day by day. Frank chose toxin to run away from pain and misery just like most of the people in hell. He started spending most of his time in bars. 

And then whoring. He went to the whores because they are the only ones who don't make him feel worthless like everyone else. This woman here to whom he makes love makes him feel special. And just like any normal man, he also got driven by the love and the validation he got here. 

He starts spending more and more time here, which makes his image even shadier. The smart man who seeks his salvation in the toxin and whores. 

But even though he is drunk all the time and has a bad name. He is still the smartest man in the city, and he knows it. He is just not that ambitious anymore. But that day when he met Winston, he felt alive after a long time.
