POV: You're a Male Concubine in the Ottoman Empire

POV: You're a Male Concubine in the Ottoman Empire The garden smells like rose oil and standing water. You have been awake since before the call to prayer, which means you have been awake for hours without anything to do with the hours. The Bosphorus is visible through the upper arch of the terrace, dark blue and indifferent, and the ships that pass on it are going somewhere. You watch them the way a man watches things that are allowed to move. The carved wooden box on the low table beside you is locked. There is nothing inside it. You locked it anyway, because having a thing that requires a key is the closest you have come to privacy in twenty years, and old habits are the last things this place takes.
