Between Shadows and Sin

1986, a Large Metropolitan Area

Southeastern USA

The city’s ghetto sprawled beneath a canvas of perpetual gloom. A place where shadows clung to walls like persistent illnesses. In this desolate landscape lived Lily, a young woman caught in the unforgiving grip of survival. Her world was flickering streetlights, damp alleyways, and whispered exchanges in the dark.

Lily noticed the curb, crawling car. A new BMW always gets attention from prostitutes at three AM. When the driver stopped, two women rushed to the passenger door. One girl, a cute, shapely blonde, stuck her head in the window, pushing the small black girl out of her way to be first.

She stepped back, hunched her shoulders, and pointed at Lily on the next block.

Lily was ready to call it a night, having made almost 300 hundred bucks. Earning enough Saturday night and the wee hours of Sunday morning, the girl wouldn’t even need to work that night. But Lily, a young, stunning black woman, never turned down the chance to make more bread.

So, when Mr. BMW stopped at the curb right before her, she flashed her Big Bucks John smile and stepped to the door.

Hi, sugar, look-n for a date?

Are you Lily? the potential client asked.

Sure-nuff am, she said.

A friend said you’re the best. And you have a secluded place where we can do things.

If the price is right, I’m your girl. But gots to be a good price, cause sugar, I made ‘nuff for the weekend already.

How does 300 sound to you?

Prackly nuff, how about 350 instead? Lily always worked to up-size their order.

Okay, if I get a blow to completion and more to get me hard again. Followed by you top looking me in the eye.

Done, done, and done, Mister Man.

That’s not my name.

Everybody, Mister Man, unless they are a regular.

Oh, yeah, I see what you mean.
