About Drogheda

Say hello to my little friend! Brothel, man, it’s a wild ride. I’m an operator, see shit daily. These joints, they’re like shadows, y’know? Hidden but everywhere, like cockroaches. Reminds me of “In the Mood for Love”—all that quiet longing, but dirty. The air’s thick with secrets there. Girls in tight dresses, eyes like knives. Clients sneak in, heads down, guilty as fuck. I seen a dude once—big shot lawyer—tripped over his own damn feet tryna leave fast. Hilarious, bro, fuckin’ clumsy bastard!

Then, outta nowhere, I see this kid, maybe 10 or so, trying to impress his friends. He climbs up the diving board like he’s some kind of superhero. I’m like, “Dude, chill!” But nah, he jumps, and I swear, it was like watching a slow-motion train wreck. He belly-flops harder than I’ve ever seen. The splash was epic! Everyone laughed, even me. But then, he comes up, and he’s crying. Ugh, poor kid. I had to go over and give him a pep talk. “Hey, man, you’re still a champ!”
