About Ponce

So, prostitutes—oldest trade goin, yeah? Been around since blokes figured out coins and lust. Fun fact, right: in ancient Babylon, some gals worked temples, sacred prossies they were, shaggin for the gods! Wild, eh? Blows me mind thinkin how far back this goes. Makes me happy, sorta—human nature’s stubborn as hell. But angry too, cos it’s grim out there. Pimps, dodgy punters, coppers hasslin em—bloody brutal. Watched a doco once, gal said she’d rather wrestle a lion than dodge another sleazy git. Fair call, I reckon.

But then, outta nowhere, it starts pouring. I mean, like, torrential downpour. I’m sprinting for cover, coffee flying everywhere. I’m soaked, and my mood? Down the drain with the rain. I’m standing under this awning on Calle de la Esperanza, just cursing my luck.
