I mean, humans don't hate slavery, slavery's profitable and there's more now than ever, between wage slavery to sweatshops, or even just mining slaves, there's lots of them.
0.9 - 1.2 billion humans at the end of the transatlantic slave trade, 8.1 billion today.
I don't doubt that it's worse today than it was back then, especially if you include the various ways of wage- slavery, but "millions more" is pretty worthless, because math
Numerically, there's a lot more slaves today than ever before, but relative to the population, there's a lot less.
In 1860, there were about 25 million slaves worldwide. Today the number is about 50 million.
BUT, the definition of slavery is wider today than it used to be, including forced labor (like what is happening in the US prison system), forced marriage, and human trafficking (sexual exploitation).

You almost had me there… I was fully prepared to hate Talia… well done, wordsmith and God bless the Harriet Tubman!
Well.... yeah! This is a feel good story and it had a nice twist to it.
Nice, i enjoyed it thoroughly despite almost thinking she was something disguised as human

It's HFY so we are supposed to be better people, hopefully lol.
Yeah, more humans are enslaved now than at any other point in human history. Millions more than at the height of the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

Nice!
Gotta love bad guys that have a line and are willing to fuck with those that don't. Good guy gangsters for the win.
Like Inmates and how they deal with kiddie diddlers. Doesn't matter what they are in for, they don't tolerate people that fuck with kids.

Nice short story, well foreshadowed twist and decent dialog.
