The year is now 2186 and sex work is a common occupation. Nearly every young person knows at least one friend, sibling, or cousin who works in the industry, and no one would bat an eye when they saw a sixteen-year-old working behind the counter. It was a normal part of society, no different from any other profession. And the industry continues to thrive, despite its low wages. No one questioned how things had gotten this way. It was just life. And for Lila, this was just another night on the job
(Revised Feb. 2023) Roger La Pine is attending a small college when he comes home to his large Mormon family in Idaho for Christmas. He's got a secret problem, his oldest sister has a secret problem, and soon they must travel together for a secret purpose. Almost no potatoes. Gambling in Reno. Nine yr. old little sister gets a shock (but everyone is wearing clothes). There will be blood, and worse. A river runs through it. Tied up with a happy ending!
Bill Matherson was no saint, but he was a goodish man and a loving father. Neither of them intended for it to happen, events just seemed to conspire against them.
