Millicent rec

[skoosiepants]

Fall On Your Knees by Ivy Blossom. Even people like Millicent have stories to tell. Sometimes, they're not very pretty stories.

She was five the first time a stranger looked at her and called her fat to her face. She was mortified. In her head, she was a strong girl, she was equal to the boys, she was fast and powerful and important. Fat. It just took all of her, the space she occupied, her height, the width of her stocky torso, her strong shoulders, the muscle in her tanned arms, and turned her into something useless, like a jellyfish on the beach.

Just. Gah.
