Author's Note: This story was inspired by an episode of GMA 7's I-wintess reported by Kara David entitled Laruan. The message of this story is that in the eyes of a child, what we define as prostitution is a mere game.

May mga taong dumadaan pero di nila ko makita kasi madilim e. Tawa siya. Tapos tayo nanaman siya. Tinanggal niya yung… yung bagay na pinapamalo satin ni Tay, yung nakaikot sa bewang ng pantalon.
