In tonight’s story, you are a woman from a quiet Central Asian village — and today is the last day you will ever be free. As Genghis Khan’s army descends, the world you knew is razed to ash, and you are pulled into the machinery of conquest — not as a warrior, but as a resource.
This is not a tale of survival. It’s not about triumph or resistance. It’s about what happened to tens of thousands of women swept into an empire that expanded not just with swords, but with people. Through vivid, historically grounded narration, we walk through the fate that followed capture: the march, the sorting, the silence, the sale. And what it meant to live — and be used — within a world that never intended to remember you.
Told in the second person, this immersive sleep story is meant to soothe you to sleep while quietly haunting you with the truth of history.
