Faith Chapter 24: Dimitri’s bid

This entry is part 24 of 18 in the series Faith

My next bidder was Russian. Dimitri, a man in the early forties. “I am a gas magnate”, he explained in the Sushi bar with a very broken accent. “I am here with my wife, who is Korean, but I would like to take your virginity like I took hers and plenty of other women. I

Faith Chapter 23: Drinking Sprites

This entry is part 23 of 18 in the series Faith

The Sushi bar was an odd place. There were odd tables around which 8 small benches were place, not so much chairs. Well, they looked like chairs but didn’t have back rests. The tables weren’t really tables either: they were mattresses where, I presume, Yoko and her colleague laid to serve as sushi platters. Empty,

Faith Chapter 22: Meeting Kaleb

This entry is part 22 of 18 in the series Faith

There was a gentle knock on my cabin door. I wiped the remaining tears from my face, put on a smile and went to open. It was Aisha… again. She didn’t so much as enter but rather she launched herself at me, hugging me tightly. I was completely dumbfounded. “Thank you. I knew I could

Faith Chapter 21: Orientation

This entry is part 21 of 18 in the series Faith

All weird, I walked down to the second deck, where the orientation and guidance office was. The door was open and I could see Erica (I rightly presumed) reading a book at her desk. I know it shouldn’t suprise me, but I wondered what was the point of asking a women who visibly has little

Faith Chapter 20: Proposition at Breakfast

This entry is part 20 of 18 in the series Faith

I left Henrietta’s office with a slight smile. Not that I was happy to have had my blood taken, but that I was happy with my new employment or dress code but rather simply because I was looking forward to breakfast by the pool bar. I returned to the common area and saw a few

Faith Chapter 18: Waking up

This entry is part 18 of 18 in the series Faith

I woke up disoriented. I was still in the same cabin but somehow, I had forgotten the end of my conversation with Paula. I know that near the end, we were more or less swapping stories of our youth, but I think I became more and more tired and just lost the thread of the

Faith Chapter 17: The Cabin

This entry is part 16 of 18 in the series Faith

We reached room 213 and Yoko wished me a good night sleep. “I am in cabin 228 if you need anything. It’s in the other corridor. Don’t hesitate to knock, I don’t have a roommate”. She had a weird smile which put me ill at ease. Perhaps it’s the insistence on “anything”, perhaps it was

Faith Chapter 16: Cleaning up

This entry is part 17 of 18 in the series Faith

Aischa soon excused herself as she had another event to MC, leaving Yoko and I alone in the small storage room. There was a certain tension left but I couldn’t tell exactly from where. In my past, I learned, right or wrong, that when things are awkward, it’s best to just offer help. “So, do

I was still with Yoko when the door opened behind us, and the presenter arrived to join us. “Ah, there you are Faith! I had heard of your arrival but had not had the chance to talk to you before now. I am Aisha and I very happy to met you.”, she said, extending her

Both carts approached the crowd of clients. An announcer, a nicely tanned brown haired girl, held a wireless microphone and explained the program of the evening. “Dear honored patrons, we have tonight the two eternal rivals. The Norwegian Goddess Helga is defending her crown for the 4 night in a row and will be pulling
