Slave Market
(Planet Calypso- City of Trinidad)
Walking through the streets of the city was an eye-opening experience for both Sophie and Cleo.
Houses were built out of simple materials in the outer area and most appeared to be made out of wood or concrete.
They had just left the tavern and were going to visit the housing register building to rent an apartment for their three week stay.
It was hard to imagine that even in a society as advanced as the Earth Federation, that a place like this could exist.
Victims of drug overdoses were convulsing on the sides of the road while passersby stepped over their bodies without care.
The pungent odour of raw sewage that was thrown casually out of the window and garbage left out made both girls' noses wrinkle up.
Sophie had seen several fights quickly turn lethal as weapons were drawn at a moment's notice.
