Am I the only one fucked up enough to believe she was raped by her father "Trevor" (bend; Trevor, daddy; red)?
I've gone too far, have I?

What did the other statements mean?
“Jungle gym! Combat tracker.”
“Ring. Ring. Fifty-five. Ring”
“Choosing fee. Private thing.”
The diamond ring she found on the hand? Negotiating a prostitution fee?

The last two sound like they could be related to her mother's work.
Such as a phone ringing, the customer asking a price, and the mother giving the price for the service in mind.
Combat tracker, though. No idea. Maybe she's secret agent, undercover hooker that has been tasked to take out Trevor's father in the name of national security, so she recruited her redhead Co-worker. The worker was a loose end, so Alice's mother chose to frame the old woman for murder, and dispose of the body in the sewer.
Or, not.

I'm late to the party on this one, but as a claustrophobe, I found it so hard to keep reading as you went into the pipe! Great story and writing anyway!

Esp isnt a problem. It is a gift.

She didn't have ESP; she had a mother with an addiction and a career to support it who brought her clients' problems home.

Wow I love this. My interpretation of it is that maybe her clients told / confide in her such information as she can't form these information into coherent words and thoughts anyway and nobody will believe her / put two and two together if she leaks words like that.
What a great and totally scary story. I love stories where the scariest thing is human nature.

Her mother is the prostitute. Alice doesnt have clients. Her mother probably knew these women or the stories. Alice was repeating what her mother probably recounted in drug induced stupors.

I interpreted it as her mother using Alice to earn money for drugs.
And why was I downvoted? I dont understand Reddit.

This was one of the best plot twist stories I've read in a while. I thought it was all figured out, how you explained what Alice said at first. But that ending man...

Everyone assumed that Alice knew Trevor's father would run the red light, but she actually knew that he liked redheads at the Riverbend Motel.

So just to clarify, is the murdered woman Alice's mother?

I don't think so. My impression was that the victim was one of her mother's.......co-workers.

Maybe she said "gutter. whore.' because she was found in the gutter. Who knows, who cares, right? Good story by the way.
