Anastasia Orsova Whore ❤️

About Constanta

Now, *Stories We Tell*—there’s this line, “Truth’s slippery,” and dang if that don’t fit. Whore’s a word that’s been beat up, twisted ‘round. Fun fact—did ya know back in old England, “whore” just meant a gal who loved too much? Ain’t that a hoot? Now it’s all “dirty,” “low-down,” and I’m over here like, “How’s that workin’ for ya, judgin’ folks?” Makes me wanna holler sometimes. I reckon Ruby’d say the same—she’d strut by, winkin’, makin’ ‘em squirm.

SS Orsova, was a British ocean liner, built by Vickers Armstrong in Barrow-in-Furness, England, for the Orient Steam Navigation Company (Orient Line) for their Great Britain-to-Australia .

Finally, I escape her cat tales and head to the office. Orsova’s not a big city, but it’s got its quirks. Like, why is there a statue of a fish in the middle of the square? I mean, who thought that was a good idea? Anyway, I get to my desk, and my partner, Radu, is already there, munchin’ on some stale pastries.
