In the morning, they sell herbal medicines and tourist knick-knacks -- necklaces heavy with jade and rectanguler brooches and fragrant sticks of incense -- for but a few cents. But when the sun sets and night falls, the city transforms into a red district for gambling and prostitution. Before you enter the district, there is a curious little shop that sits outside the gates -- hidden among the bright signs and lantern-strung lights -- called "Soulmate." As the name indicates, it sells your soul mate. But we aren't talking about human beings. We're talking about literal souls. Souls of those who have died -- and who have never found love -- are caught in tiny, cobweb covered glass bottles, and placed on dusty shelves with the hope that their other half exists in the next life. These souls appear as tinted mists, floating inside their container like lazy, trapped moths. Your soulmate, however, possesses a physical appearance. If you are meant for that soul, only you can see what that soul looked like before it died. -- My first encounter with the shop was an accident. Nestled near the entrance at the crimson gates was an older lady pulling a cart heaped with ornamental hairpins, glittering with chased gold and thick gemstone. I was there, weaving my way through stall after stall, searching for her to pawn off a small, carved stone. It had been my mother's. I entered Soulmate after one accidental turn. Greeted the old man that sat behind the counter with a nod. He led me to the back of the store carrying an oil lantern in one hand while separating beaded curtains with the other. The lightbulb that hung above my head flickered with a dim glow, throwing long shadows against the wooden walls. Before me were dusty glass bottles sitting atop wooden shelves, glittering in the soft yellow slants of light. To my left there was a safe door. Opened boxes and empty jars lay scattered on the ground. I browsed the shelves, passing several bottles with faint shapes inside them. flashes of white skin, pale limbs. But the one that caught my eye was a clear bottle that sat on my far right, three shelves from the bottom. Inside the bottle was a woman with white skin and hair black as soot. She had no clothes, and her eyes never looked at me. Her long hair was placed in a neat bun, and she sat staring at the ground like a china doll.
Gold and crimson lights, glittering in a red shopping district owned by old Chinese vendors.
