Yeah...Usually where there is smoke, your going to get the fire.
And most people who are crazy enough to jump into the frying pan,
usually get burned in the fire. You have amazing style of writing.
And since it's all about networking our unity, I will be looking forward to our support. Stay Connected

This is quite an imaginative story describing two women at a deserted bar. Unfortunately, Destiny doesn't get to reinvent herself. This could very well be a true story, as many young women have no goals and low self esteem. There could be a part two to this story as Destiny discovers she is capable of more than waiting for a man to tell her what she can and cannot do. As is, the story is well written and with the twist at the end (sex-trafficking), is a fitting contender in the contest. Best wishes.

Thanks for your high opinion of this story. While I was writing it, imagining the 2 women's lives, Destiny became a stronger character in my forward projection and I could sense another story in the offing.

You did a great job with an engaging story. While Destiny's (great name!) life leaves much to be desired, Kat was offering a life of luxury which in reality would have been hell as a trafficked victim. As unhappy as Destiny was with Jaxxon, it seems she'll have to stand on her own feet another way. Best wishes in the contest!

Some readers have missed the sex trafficking aspect and think she has just missed the opportunity to have a luxurious lifestyle. That's probably how a lot of young people end up 'entertaining' the likes of Epstein and Prince Andrew.

How many times in a lifetime does one get an opportunity to leave humdrumsville and head off for an all expenses paid trip into rich land, where gold and jewels, travel and luxury unlimited rear it's delicious head! Then...back to earth. Beautifully written I hope she escapes, blessings Roy

Oh, but Destiny's opportunity was a poisoned chalice. She was about to be taken advantage of in Kat's sex-trafficking. I might have to write a sequel to help Destiny escape from Jaxxon.

Good idea

I enjoyed this story a lot until Jaxxon entered the bar. The description and character development were both excellent. But with his arrival, the ladies seemed to lose control of their lives and I felt that the story remained unresolved.

Yes, they did both lose control of their lives. Kat was trying to exert control over Destiny, so Jaxxon 'saved' her from that slippery slope to being sex-trafficked. I left the story up in the air because I enjoyed writing the story and I began to feel it could be developed into a longer piece, exploring what happened to Destiny while finding her own life path, once she did get away from Jaxxon.

This is the first one of these entries I've read in the two women in a bar contest. Very nice job. Good luck in the contest. Stay safe and stay healthy in the new year.

Thank you for your time and kind response to my story.
Comment from Thatguypk
Very good. You drew me into the story, full of curiosity. This would make a good first chapter of a novel about how Destiny escapes the grip of Jaxxon and finds a better, or different, life. A very enjoyable read. Thanks. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Barry Penfold
Great story telling especially given the short time to put it all together. Loved the scenario painted so well. Perhaps you could extend this to a more substantial story where Destiny does escape . Well done.
