Condor

by Lorena Cassady

Short Story. Roz is an aging, but still vibrant ex-stripper from the famous Condor Club in San Francisco. She still wears red high heels and works out to Jane Fonda tapes. Ambulance drivers, arriving to pick up other residents in the old-folks apartment building where she lives, regularly peek into her ground floor apartment to catch a glimpse of her famous 44DDD silicon-enhanced breasts. Now the ringleader of the lady's canasta club, she discovers, through the death of a group member, and memorializing her beloved ex-mafia boyfriend, how to move on.
