I looked around the block three times before I entered; I may not have a name to uphold but it'll be the end of me if I'm ever caught in a shady joint like... the Worm. 
 I walk in with my head down and see her at the end of the dimly lit hallway. 
 `` The regular?'' she asks me, incapable of masking her wry smile. 
 `` I'd like to try something new tonight,'' I respond nervously. As hard as I try to keep my appearances artifactual, it's quite clear that I've been here too often to be known by anything other than `` Winston''. 
 She scratches her luxurious black scalp with hair that, heretofore, was placed elegantly in locks that held nothing secret. 
 `` Fantasy?'' She asks annoyed. 
 `` No.'' 
 `` Well what do you want from me?'' 
 `` Romance?'' 
 She snorts, `` I bet you do, Winston.'' 
 The light flickers and I pause. What's to be gained in reading a romantic novel? I have mountains of pornography in my living room alone to satiate me for days. What do I need with romance. The lacquered shelves from the'80s and musty smell of greater men is n't worth the public shame- having my eyes gouged out. Like Oedipus. 
 Like Oedipus. The tragedy of a man who made his wantonness his ignorance. I have to read, a life without literature means a life without passion. 
 `` Well are you just going to stand there?'' 
 `` I'd like a suggestion, please?'' 
 `` Get the fuck out.'' 
 `` Please.'' 
 We stood at an impasse, her brows furled in complete agitation, mine in fear. I looked behind me once more. 
 `` Things Not Seen should be a good starter for a child like you. It costs 500 for four hours. Be quick because I'm expecting a rush soon and I'll kick you out with ease for more loyal patrons.'' 
 `` Thank you so much,'' I croaked as I scurried off to my regular spot. 
 `` I should've gave him Fifty Shades of Grey.''
