Life Goes Full Circle
I’ve held many interesting jobs throughout history, and it’s hard to pick just a single one to write about. My earliest life is being one of Cleopatra’s Virgins. Virgin? Ha, that was a joke title. The people of Alexandria look at us like we were the symbol of purity. We were seen as beautiful as a white lotus on the banks of the Nile. In reality, we were sluts. Not just any sluts, we were high-end escorts for the Greek Army and political dignitaries. Cleo was a bitter, nasty woman who often got jealous of us. She would have girls executed if any of us caught the eye of high-end officials that she had a fancy to. That is how I met my end. It was a high-ranking general named Maxocronus, or Cronus for short.
