Saving Elsie
Two.
"My Mother was always model material, I got my shortness from my Father and his appetite, my friends whenever they came over would comment on her beauty, the guys from school would call her a MILF and me the adopted one because I looked nothing like her"
Elsie could see the Doctor writing things down as she spoke.
"I could never understand why I didn't look like her, she had the pretty blonde hair, the long legs and perfect complexion, where my hair was dull looking, I was short and chubby. I hated it, getting called fat from relatives, my Mother would put me on diets and make me go to gym with her"
She stopped again, not wanting to keep going.
"It never worked though, I was 14 at the time, I'd just eat junk food when she wasn't around"
She shrugged "I just avoided the mirrors"
