I go through the curtain door and look around the Gender-Swap Inn’s lounge. I was told that someone picked me, so I came as soon as I got the word. I take a cigarette, put it in my mouth, and light it. I suck on it and blow out a puff of smoke as I look at the people seated.

Which one of you called for me? I ask and, not long after, I see someone raise their hand to me. I walk towards them and give them a look over. Hmm… You the one? I ask as I hold my cigarette in one hand, waiting for them to respond.
