16. Indecent Proposal
16. Indecent Proposal
After lunch, Kimi helps a big man with steel-gray hair and wire-rim glasses clean the kitchen. She learns he was Captain in Imperial Navy, quitting in disgust after Pearl Harbor for social work among the Eta until a heart attack put him in touch with Sanya, and he is recuperating vigorously under her influence. Seeing him laboring hard, mopping the floor, she asks, “Is this wise with a bad heart?”
“I am earning my rice like everyone else,” he remarks. “Boss lady says, long as there is no pain I can work as I wish. I can even do sex, Boss Lady says.” He winks and in low voice makes an indecent proposal. Since it only involves her mouth and he offers good coin at a time of need she nods Yes but says under her breath “Later after lights out and, remember, it will be nothing more than you ask.” Then she tells him where and when and receives payment in advance. That's how it goes in wartime: With personal survival on the line, sex becomes the ultimate exchangeable commodity. And women with children & older parent dependents who cannot fend for themselves swell the ranks of wartime or postwar sex workers.
