Daydreamer

Kitana Lure pops the lids on custom silicone implants like she’s unpacking Tupperware. These young women queue up glossy, tinted lips pouting into their cameras, ordering cheeks, hips, tits the same way they’d build a playlist. A quick consultation turns into polite haggling: three friends and a fifty-percent referral means twenty extra cc’s free of charge. Kitana snaps on new gloves, sketches the target cleavage with a marker, then grabs the scalpel like an over-caffeinated seamstress about to add a seam. Suction hums, flesh stretches, fat sloshes in a steel bowl. Half an hour later the “before” jaunts into the lobby a blonde copy of her girl-squad; they beam, flash matching winks, post identical selfies tagged #goals. Someone remarks how much she’s raised herself—as though she’s passed the minimum salary. Kitana counts the day’s take with her elbow on the cash register, then smiles at the next patient. Repeat customers make for clean bookkeeping.
