A narrator whose name is never mentioned has been working in the sex industry for the past few years. She lists herself in ads, goes on dates with clients, books VIP rooms, and sends messages to her friends to let them know she's still alive. Her lawyer-client warns her, "This gap in your resume will be a problem in the future." But for her, this gap doesn't mean she accepts that she has no future. On the contrary. This gap crystallizes her refusal to accept the world as it is. It comes from her desire to tear it down and rebuild it.
