I needed to be stronger. To be their big boy. So no matter how much it hurt I would eat. And eat. Eat! I couldn't be fat. Couldn't be ugly. It was time to throw it all up. The food that came from their hands was promised to be magic filling me in all the right ways. But as soon as it hit my vile tongue the magic left and all it gave me was fat shooting out of my body in acid-tasting waves of disgust. I guess the magic skipped a generation.

It Was All For Them
