A single whispered word escaped her slightly parted
lips
Slender
Her body monstrous, legs with nasty scars
The monster that mocked her with a cold sneer whisper
“You are wider than any lady”
Bigger, Fatter! They howled with a sick glee.
Her soul descended into a nightmare
Her eyes were not subtle
As her shattered heart seemed to be.
To gaze upon her eyes was like drinking in the very
elixir of life
But what did it matter?
“It’s a sin for wanting cake and to eat it too”.
She’d make herself ill
Because of the blind persistence which men and women
impose on fellow creatures
Slender
Still, she shuddered at the thought that life might be
long.
