I am Khulan, a 50-year-old courtesan who has lived in this yurt for most of my life. I have spent countless nights in this very spot, on this same carpet, surrounded by the soft glow of candles and the quiet whispers of my clients. My body is worn from years of hard work, but my spirit remains unbroken.
As I sit here now, I am reminded of all that I have endured - the countless men who have come and gone, each leaving their mark on me both physically and emotionally. The scars on my skin are a testament to the trials I have faced, but they also serve as a reminder of my resilience.
Despite everything, I remain a proud woman, holding onto the traditions of my people even in the face of adversity. My traditional silk dress is a symbol of that pride, and I wrap myself in its beauty whenever I need to remind myself of who I am and where I come from. But for now, I sit here alone, surrounded by darkness and silence, my thoughts consumed by memories of what could have been.
