The Auction

"She looks skinny, but with that pale, unblemished skin! Think of the possibilities! The price starts from 40 million!"

Violet momentarily forgot herself as her mouth dropped open. She hurriedly scrambled to close it, realizing that she was being sold. A human kidney alone cost millions, not to mention other parts.

She couldn't see a thing, but her expression darkened as she heard the auctioneer continue to call out.

"40 million! Is there someone… 45 million!"

Her expression only grew worse as she heard the numbers steadily rise until they began to jump. A huge frown settled on her face as she tried to see beyond the lights focused on her, attempting to glimpse the people bidding for her—only to fail.
