A short dark piece of erotic fiction about the dangers of voyeuristic white tourism and not truly understanding where you've decided to sample from.

Jennifer was sick of her damp dreary life in London and decided it would be quaint and fun to go stay in Japan for a while. After almost a year in country and no luck finding work which bleeds her funds dry, she's desperate to just get back to her old life... but first she needs to earn enough money to make it happen. She takes a job at a Blonde bar playing hostess and makes the mistake of turning down a Yakuza member 4 times too many. She wakes up pierced and kidnapped after the final time and proceeds to live the week—maybe two—from Hell. That Yakuza she slighted? He's decided she owes him for the offense, and it's not ever going to end.

There's a lot going on in this story for how short it is. I will be thinking on this one for a long time to come.

Trigger/Content warning: rape, violence against women, kidnapping, drugging
