Congress actually agrees on something: A massive plan to fix housing
My name is Sara, I'm twenty, and my world is the scent of expensive perfume and the squeak of polished marble floors. In Khobar, I'm a bellhop, or whatever the female equivalent is. I meet guests in the lobby of a hotel so fancy it makes my eyes water, I haul their ridiculously heavy suitcases, and I show them to their rooms, smiling a smile that doesn't reach my eyes anymore. It's a life of being invisible, a ghost in a beautiful machine. The voices started as echoes in the vast, empty lobby, a trick of the acoustics. "A little faster with that bag, Sara," a voice, perfectly mimicking the front desk manager, would hiss. "These people are important. You're not. Remember your place, you little nothing." I'd blame it on fatigue, but the echoes solidified, became a chorus of venom that lives inside my head, always.
They are a constant, chattering poison, and their only goal is to dissolve me into a puddle of self-loathing. "Look at you, the little luggage mule. A human beast of burden. You think carrying a suitcase makes you valuable? You're a walking coat rack, a piece of furniture with a pulse. You are less than the dust you wipe from the suitcases." The s***** degradation is a constant, slimy presence. They turn every guest into a potential predator and me into a willing victim. "That businessman in Room 804, he's been watching you. We told him you're the 'special' service. Told him for a hundred riyals you'll come up to his room and let him do whatever he wants. He's got his tie loosened already, waiting for his little hotel w****. Your father would be so proud." They paint me as a cheap, desperate s***, and they assure me the entire staff, all the guests, can see it written all over my face.
But their true genius is in using my family, my only anchor, as an anchor to drag me down. My older brother, Youssef, who works so hard to send money home. "He's breaking his back for you, you know," a voice says, sounding like my own mother, but twisted, cruel. "
