About Phoenix

But here’s the kicker – some brothels got rules! No drunks, no weapons – “You shall not pass!” if yer a mess. Surprised me, that – thought it’d be chaos. And the workers? Tough as mithril, but soft too, y’know? One told me she dreams of flyin’, like them ships in “A.I.” – “Up there, no one owns me.” Gutted me, that did – freedom’s a ghost for ‘em.

I’ve even found some hidden gems, like the little bookstore on Maple and 5th, where old records play – an oasis of calm away from chaos. Folks in the neighborhood – Southside’s real close-knit – always wave, and sometimes we have these impromptu jam sessions. Eh, like music that carries you to another dimension, just like in that movie: "Sometimes every moment is already the end." Crazy deep, huh?
