The Red Light District

Whether they are born that way or they practice, I don't know. I'd be surprised if anyone did. Some people are just easier to talk to, to get along with. Maybe it's in their upbringing. I met Jules in April. I'm not one of those people but from what I can tell, it doesn't take both, just the one. We talked about dogs and some cult that masters the transferal and harnessing of human energy. She told me that it was what Jesus used to attract a following. It was all explained in a book she read one time. I don't read much. It was mainly a one way conversation, that one was, except for when I would make some dumb, witty comment. She would laugh afterward.

She had blue eyes and great tits, at least from what I could tell, being on the wrong side of her blouse. We made love a few times in my mind. I never called her back.

The city is windy and loud. From my apartment, I can hear the clatter of knives and forks against dinner plates reverberating off the wing across from mine. I live alone. The building in which I live is U shaped, only the curves of the U are forged into sharp corners. If someone scrawled a character in the shape of this building, anyone would know that it was intended to be a U but it might spark wonder about the malformation afflicting the scribe's hand. On the open end, the city sprawls outward until it crashes with some violence like ocean waves into the steep rock of the mountain. In my head, shards of white picket fencing and dining room furniture spray up and out under the pressure of the city and the mountain. I wonder if the noises of dinner twist and contort their way all the way out there.

I go out sometimes. In the clubs, I sip my drinks, picking out the girls that I would or wouldn't take home. Then I catch a taxi to the Red Light District. I've always thought that would be a good name for a band. the Red Light District. I think I've had this driver before. Last time I asked him about his work, if he liked it. When I'm out, I usually fake an accent. If they think you're local they tend to not rip you off as much. This time I ask him about his home. I'm not certain that he speaks English.

One girl I see reminds me of a girl I used to know back home. Only this version of her has a bulge in her skirt that looks a lot like a penis from over here. Her eyes penetrate mine, offering a vacancy that longs to be filled, comforted, loved, rented for the evening. I lost my sense of pity long ago. It's an evil feeling anyway. I don't come here for any one in particular, but for all of them. I feed on their energy, their desperation, and their anguish. I heard one time that they formed a union. I bet that they lobby for workman's comp and dental. They all have something that none of the girls in the club can offer. They don't judge for fear of being judged. Their unspoken contract goes beyond the obvious to the comfort that there is someone worse off than their client.

People like to know they are better. They savor it like a tender sirloin and they express pity to flaunt their superiority. It makes me sick. I went home and dreamt of falling.

I saw Jules once more before I returned home several months later. We were both in line in a coffee shop. She didn't say hello - or give any salutation at all, come to think of it. And once I was home, I saw a girl that I used to know. She said "hey" and we exchanged pleasantries. I couldn't remember for the life of me if she had a penis or not - it had been so long since we saw eachother without clothing. But in my mind, she did have a penis and she demanded dental and I went home and dreamt of falling.

Nothing in particular. I just like to write. Part of the story is true, but most is exaggerated or made up.
 
haha, sweet shit

very good, i can tell you put a lot of effort into your writing

is that going to be a career choice for you?
 
uhh okay.. haha you mean the start of this story seemed like erotica? or erotica is in my future of writing?
 
u have a very good style of writing its enjoyable to read. i liked it alot. write some more man. its good!
 
I dont really feel like lookin it up..Whats the red light district again? The prostitution district in India or something?
 
thank you. haha but I actually cranked that out in about 45 minutes and proofread it maybe twice.

As for a career of writing, probably not. I think that I would run out of things to say very soon. Just a hobby for now. Maybe I'll look into getting some stuff published some time but I don't think it will be my main source of income.
 
Good story, but you just need to work on your writing conventions. Its little stuff, like making sure your verb tenses all agree with each other, and some sentences just have awkward flow, like "I don't read much. It was mainly a one way conversation, that one was, except for when I would make some dumb, witty comment". Mad story telling skillz tho
 
yeah, I know about the verb tenses. But sometimes I was referring to the things that I generally do, as opposed to what was happening in sequence. For example: "I go out some times. I sip my drinks blahblah blah" But yeah, I probably missed some things in that regard anyway.

Hah that was a great line. I definantly liked your work keep it up!
