When a Police Officer Showed Up at the Brothel

This post discusses a personal story of being coerced into selling sex to a police officer, under threat of the brothel I was working in being raided in the future. The descriptions are non-graphic, and I mostly talk about my complicated feelings around how I feel like I’ve been lucky compared to others because my experience was not worse.

Short Story: A Safe Brothel Set-up

Summary: Harper starts working at a brothel, needing the extra funds, and finds the brothel owner showing her around to be very frustrating. The owner isn’t used to being the one who’s at risk, and doesn’t know what reaction might be in store from the sex workers he hires. (Warning: Mentions of sexual assault – though no-one is sexually assaulted in this story, descriptions of blood and gore.)
