The Conversion ~ a Short Story from the Pen of Ralpapajan

I write in the first person because despite any disclaimers there MUST be someone 'out there' who has the same name and even a similar experience to anything 'I' get up to, whether consorting with hookers or being 'converted'. This way no-one ...
