Krik? Krak! "Night Women"

"Night Women" is from what I understood a story of a women who is a prostitute. My first speculation of this was when in the beginning when she introduced her son she wrote "For a brief second, I almost mistake him for the ghost of his father, an old lover who disappeared  with the nights shadow a long time ago." This brought line brought about two speculations for me, either she was a prostitute, or her son was concieved due to a one night stand. I later found out that although my speculations of her being a prostitute was right, her son's father however may have infact been a person of importance in her life that may have passed. She goes on to talk about the men that visit her for her services and the excuse she would use if her son had ever woken up during these sessions, or for when he gets old. "I will tell him that his father has come, that an angel brought him back from heaven for a while." SHE BETTER COME UP WITH A BETTER EXCUSE THAN THAT!!! or at least do a better job hiding it maybe taking her activities elsewhere LOL
