About a Common Whore - 5

Read "About a Common Whore - Part 5"

The fifth installment of About a Common Whore is here.

This is a dark story. Yes, it’s sexy, but there’s a cost for it. When I started writing this story, I felt a kind of resistance that I have not felt while writing other stories.

This is a story about Roli. We meet Roli when she’s 23 years old, having lived 5 years of adulthood, being a whore, and having sex for random amounts of money. She’s an orphan, from the slums of Dharavi. At 18, Roli runs away from her abusive uncle and aunt, with Ramesh, in the hope of making her dreams come true. Dreams that she hadn’t even visualized properly.

Her life takes a sharp turn when she is propositioned by Ramesh that the only way she can earn a living is by letting men fuck her in the ways they want. But there’s much more to the story.

Yes, it’s a story about a prostitute. It’s a story about abuse, but above everything else, it’s a story about the human spirit. It’s a story about making the best out of what life gives you. I hope you enjoy reading this.

This story series is more expansive than the stories about Reeti and Untying the Knots. I kept the pacing of the first four parts slow, setting a tone for you to imagine Roli, with her anxieties and sexiness.

This part introduces a few more characters, adding depth to their motivations, their desires and perversions.

P.S. If you haven't read the first four parts, you will find the link to the previous parts in this post. Happy Reading!
