Chapter 1

Harem Hotel is a brand new kind of inter-dimensional reality show! The premise is simple: six or more contestants, plus a master, will be whisked away to a private resort in which they must compete against one another for the affections of a single master (whether they want to o...

Chapter 2

The camera, panned along a sandy beach lined with palm trees and glowing white in the tropical sun. A mountain stood at the island's center, imposing and clearly volcanic, though covered by a dense jungle canape in spite of that. The camera passed over a village with narrow stree...

Chapter 4

Emily watched her reflection in the mirror of the coffee shop's lone bathroom, trying to remind herself that the florescent light always made her look uglier than she actually was. She applied a pink lipstick that matched her highlights, and some blush that she hoped would cover...

Chapter 21

As one of Farra’s bodies (the Braided haired one) transferred the clothes in her suitcase to hangers in her closet, the other (Loose haired one) poured tea from her instant kettle into a small cup as she watched the sunset from her balcony. The closet was a full walk in, roomy an...

Chapter 28

Leah stretched and yawned as she waited from the poll results to come in. The girls had been sent off on their assignments, which meant it was time to close her popularity poll and give her first report. She was a personality, not an accountant. She was aware that some sort of p...

Chapter 27

A soft chime rang out in Jake’s room as he stepped out of the shower; a pleasant little jingle that he briefly mistook for a harpist on the beach. Only belatedly did he realize that the sound was coming from the little control panel by the elevator door, and that it was some kind...

Chapter 33

Jake didn’t get to see Ryan’s failure. The program could only follow the action when a gun was about to be used, and hers couldn’t be. It was Julie he was hung up on. Loretta’s transformation was brilliantly executed (at least according to Leah), and her husband clearly deservin...

Chapter 35

“Leah,” Jake said to the woman under his arm, “I need to go.” “Yes. So do I,” She said, stretching. “We’ll be gathering to discuss the results shortly.” His eyes were drawn to her breasts as she did. They strained against her shirt, and Jake couldn’t help but marvel. It wasn’t...

Chapter 37

One by one, they began to gather in the sunken courtyard. AJ, having already ambushed Leah there, was there to watch all the others arrive. The Farras were first, and Julie and Loretta followed shortly thereafter. She thought Loretta looked remarkably pleased with herself, but Fa...

Chapter 39

They milled about in largely silent anxiety as they awaited the results. Leah had given the audience two hours to cast its votes. None of them could go very far, lest they miss the call back to go over them, but neither did they seem to have any interest in agonizing over the num...

Chapter 45

AJ took a deep breath, her muscles bulging as she lifted the weights up one last time. Her breathing was more labored than she liked, the effort taking more of a toll that she’d have expected. As she struggled, a concerned face appeared in her field of vision. “Need some help?”...

**Three Days Earlier** ---------------------- “Are you sure you wanna do this?” Lindsey asked. They stood outside the salon, in the narrow, cobblestone streets that made up the village proper. It was a beautiful town, in truth, though its total lack of inhabitants gave it the f...

Chapter 52

Exe watched from a distance as they gathered in the pool courtyard for the big announcement, still observing rather than engaging. The others came slowly, in pairs, then all at once as their little cliques who’d congregated elsewhere arrived as a unit. Exe knew she should have j...

Chapter 53

In spite of everything, their age gap, the strange situation they shared, that he was supposed to be her ‘master’ now, and that he really didn’t even watch her show anymore anyway, Jake felt nervous as he waited in his room. He just couldn’t shake the feeling that a celebrity wa...

Chapter 55

Jake stood at the balcony, watching the dark clouds at the distant horizon. They did not look good. He doubted they would be his problem, though. Callous, evil sadists the showrunners might have been, but they’d kept the island’s weather perfectly manicured so far. Still, he w...

Chapter 57

Lindsey had slept badly. She was supposed to have spent the night at Jake’s place, but that rendezvous had been canceled by the sudden change in schedule. And she still had no idea what her challenge entry would look like. “Hey you,” Lacy greeted as she approached the others. T...

Chapter 58

As it Was He met her at their favorite dive bar. It was the sort of place where you could order beer and shots at a discount, but where you’d get laughed out of the establishment for ordering anything more complicated than a rum and coke. The wooden floors were sticky, the opti...

Chapter 60

Jake sat up in bed, rubbing his eyes. It was dark, and sheets were loose around him. He wore an old, familiar shirt, with old, familiar pajama pants. Morning light drifted through the window of his old, familiar condo. It was _his_ condo. There was no island. No _harem_. He wasn...

Chapter 62

The train jerked, rousing Jake up from sleep. Or at least, as he was coming to realize, the intermission between one dream and another. He rubbed his eyes, collecting himself. He was on a train. And it took only a cursory scan of his surroundings to realize that it wasn’t i...

Chapter 64

Jake looked over his choice of doors, then turned to the girls who’d given them to him; the two behind the bar and the one dangling from his neck. “So, what are the games?” He asked. “Where’s the fun in us telling you that?” Lindsey protested. “It’s supposed to be a surprise.”...
