Mallory’s Neighborhood
Except to make an outcall visit, Mallory doesn’t stray far from her home.
Kensington Ave is considered by many to be the largest outdoor drugs market in America. Before getting an apartment, Mallory lived on these streets. Many live there, still.
Mallory’s Staples
Besides her addiction, Mallory has three necessities in her life.
Chicken-flavor Maruchan Ramen, Red Bull, and Newport 100s are Mallory’s mainstays.

Mallory, A Quick Introduction
Mallory is the protagonist of my current novella.
No spoilers, but she is a twenty-something-year-old prostitute with an addiction and a thing for tarot.
Mallory is a loner with no illusions that she can overcome her addiction. She just wants to survive and get on with her life near Kensington Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
She’s recently moved from being homeless on the streets into an apartment, but this comes at a price. Along the way, she meets an old high school acquaintance who wants to help her with her demons and track down the one who set her on this path.
Everlasting Cocksucker
Everlasting cocksucker is the working title of the book I am currently working on. The title comes from a Marilyn Manson song from the ‘90s. Given her situation, it feels relevant. I’m leaning toward changing it to a more publicly acceptable title, but I haven’t come up with anything better. Perhaps the publisher will have some ideas.
The idea came to me in early 2020. It’s an extension of an idea I had kicking around since 2018 or thereabouts.
This story follows the protagonist, Mallory. It’s about addiction, prostitution, and homelessness. Given her addiction, prostitution is an obvious occupation, and homelessness is a common outcome. Many women become prostitutes as a means to escape homelessness and break the cycle of poverty, but the money that doesn’t go to support their addiction tends to be spent on hotels rather than being saved up for down payments. Of course, if you’re homeless, you’ve got verification challenges, and your credit score may prevent you from qualifying at many places.
I don’t want to give away the plotline or any spoilers, but Mallory’s got other problems. Before she became an addict, she was a normal, sexually active woman in her mid-twenties in a traditionally committed relationship. Her addiction changed all that. Now she’s a loner and relies on men to feed her addiction and fund her existence.
I discuss other details about Mallory, her environment, acquaintances, and other aspects in separate posts.
