Tan, Part Two
She has beautiful lines but is beaten down by not knowing it.
Its hard to be an ogre, doubly so for girls. I can only imagine the horror of growing up and realizing that at some point you passed the happy size for girls. You were now unusually large in a world where the boys hadn't caught up yet, trapped in a body you weren't quite prepared for.
This is how it goes for Ogres and the burden can make a person unhappy for life. For a time, your body is not stylish. When distinctions start being drawn betwen girls and women and perhaps you've gone too far one way.
Horrible stories and horrible truths at every end.
I think she'd look better naked -- her clothes choices push her into weird directions, make lumpy that which would be clean and firm on her body were she to stand before me nude.
There will be no time to savor this.
