Wow. This is sooooo sad. Beautifully done.

A tribute to the power of human will and people’s ability to see past the prejudice of others. Sad?

Wow, intense and sad. Agreed with Aurelia, but it should probably be marked mature. Just fyi! Thanks for entering.

That was brutally sad and tragic, though at least there’s a glimmer of hope among the sequins and glitter body paint.

jeez, i love the first paragraph. there are no wasted words, i love it. the story feels a little rushed though. can we learn a little more about the baby?

This is good. It teaches others not to judge and that maybe there are other reasons why someone would fall into stripping. There could be a wonderful person there, but not enough people take the time to find out.
It did seem a little rushed, but this is definitely the ultimate tale of a starving artist. Good job!

Wow, very sad. This is a deeper little story than the character count allows. Well done!
