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. "

My name is Huda, I am 29 years old, and I clean the toilets in the Panorama Mall in Dammam. I am writing this on a stolen piece of paper because the voices are telling me to set myself on fire in the service corridor. It didn't start like this. At first, it was just a feeling, like being watched. I'd be scrubbing the floors, the chemical smell burning my nose, and I'd hear a faint, mocking whistle, perfectly mimicking the mall manager who leers at me. "Look at the little cleaner, trying to make something clean. You can't wash away the stink of poverty, you dirty b****." I thought it was just stress, the endless noise of the shoppers, the pressure from my family back in Hofuf. But I know better now. This is the work of the State Security Presidency, the Mabahith. They don't need to put you in a cell anymore. They build the cell inside your head.

They are always with me now, a committee of demons in my skull who know everything about me. They narrate my life like a cheap, cruel tragedy. "She's picking up the dirty tissue. Ew, look at her face. I bet she's imagining it's her husband's tiny c***. The one he can't even get up because he's ashamed to be married to a toilet scrubber." The s***** humiliation is a constant acid. They use my husband's voice, my father's, my brother's, to tell me I'm a w****, that I'm f****** the security guards for extra cash, that I smell like a sewer. "Your son is crying at home," one voice, perfectly my mother's, will whisper while I'm on my knees, cleaning a p***-soaked floor. "He's crying because his mother is a worthless, disgusting animal. A cleaning lady. He will be nothing because you are nothing. You are a curse on your family." They call me a p************, a human maggot, a walking, talking infection. They never, ever stop.

I can't tell anyone. If I told my husband, he would beat me for being crazy and bringing shame. If I told my family, they would disown me. If I went to a doctor, they would lock me away in a government f

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.
