The dirty red light was flashing. Over and over through the window. SEX! LIVE! SEX! LIVE! She was only eight, but her mind was quick. She wondered if people would pay to see dead sex.
In the novel "Immortal in Death" by J.D. Robb, a young girl observes a flashing red light outside her window, signaling an adult entertainment theme. Despite her tender age of eight, she shows remarkable curiosity and insight, contemplating the concept of people paying to witness even morbid themes, such as "dead sex." This indicates her precocious nature and a deeply inquisitive mind.
The juxtaposition of innocence and the provocative nature of the flashing light highlights the contrast between childlike wonder and adult themes. The girl’s musings reflect a broader commentary on society's often complex and dark relationship with sexuality, which is a recurring theme in the narrative. Her thoughts provoke deeper questions about morality and the influences of the world around her, even at such a young age.
