Maria.
She lines her self up with the other girls
Each wearing the best cloths
The most reviling
The one who gets the job get more money to pay off the debt
The debt in which binds her to this place
To this man who says he owns her until this debt is off
The men walk in and pick there girl, a man comes to her and nods
She gets him as her first costumer this night
They go up to the room and she strips from her clothes
He is a bigger man, who will crush her but she knows what she must do so she can be free,
She can not ask for him to protect himself, men prefer not to, it takes away From their experience, this man has a wedding band,
He has a wife maybe children maybe a girl her age
The bed creaks and her job goes on, she closes her eyes and pretends she is far Away from were she is, she wants to be with her family back in her village, not In this place with this man. When he is done he pays her, and then she dresses her self and goes back down stairs to get her next man.
The night goes on and more men come and go. How she ended up here?
She left her home to find work as a maid, the man she met said she could be a Model, “make much money” he said money, to feed her family back home, to Feed her little brother, her mother. She said ok. He took her to her new home now.
She misses home, but works each night.
Men ask for deeds, favors.
Some have little things she must do in order to get paid
Some so bad she cries as she does them.
Each and everyday she does her work, hating her self each day a little bit more.
There are girls out there just like her, the girls in her home just like her, all Clinging to the promise that there will be an end.
The end was near for her though, for she has caught the virus, the virus that Men say the only cure is for them to be with a virgin. She has caught it and she is dieing, dieing for her family to eat one meal. But the money she makes never Reaches her home no the man who rules her keeps it all. She dies at 15
She was trafficked
Amy was a beautiful girl 13, yet looked 16
She was on vacation, Mexico with her mom.
It was beautiful, bright, sunny, paradise
But paradise does not last for long
She saw a boy, cute he was dangling a something sparkly beckoning her over to look.
She walks over he hands it to her she smiles, but that smile will fade
For as she turns around to go back into the hotel, a car swerve in front of her
Men grab her and drag her and she is gone.
Trafficked
Just like Maria
Same fate as Maria
Lost family like Maria
Death certain like Maria

I have chills. this is amazing! It captures it so well and really makes the reader feel hatred toward those disgusting people doing it. I don't know what else to say, this is just amazingly sad. theres a great song about sex slaves called Constance by Mr. J Mederos, or something like that. this reminds me a lot of the song. great job and good luck

you need to check your spelling and grammar.
the topic matter is intresting; very somber -
I can appreciate your topic but this piece very badly needs to be re written. If this is representative of anything else that you have written your grammar is horrible. There are quite a few instances in this where the wrong word was used and one of them, "dieing", you should look that up in a dictionary, it doesn't mean what you think it means.
You need to re-read this very slowly, carefully and make some changes. -
I can't believe I left you with so few words before, but then again its me and I'm weird like that. This held a lot of emotion and a lot of detail, it was a great read though it left you feeling helpless.
