I've had enough. The sock of cash hidden in my small amount of possessions is becoming sustainable. I could live off this for a little while. I could run away with this.

I'm bringing in a lot of money now. Too much, in unethical ways. In painful, degrading, explicit ways. I'm The Band's prized possession.

Tonight is the night. I stood in front of the colourful lights beaming onto the stage. I've been giving the performance of a lifetime, walking left and right across the stage, subtly exploring all the fire exits.

"Mr Green." I whispered. "I've gotten my period, it's going to start dripping down my legs if I don't-"

"Go." He grit his teeth. "Quickly."

I knew he wasn't happy. Something like this would usually result in punishment when we go back to the motel. Thankfully for me, I'll never lay in that bed ever again.
