The Monster Named Ana
There’s a new girl in my class today.
Her name is Ana.
She’s really skinny, and that’s kind of funny because I eat a lot.
But she and I are going to be best friends, I know it.
Maybe she can teach me to be skinny like her.
Ana’s been here for a couple weeks now, and we’re best friends, just as I had predicted we’d be.
She’s even given me a few tips how to be skinny.
She’s taught me to just skip meals.
Mother doesn’t like when I hang out with Ana, but she’s my only friend.
Besides she’s keeping me skinny, I don’t know what I’d do without her.
Ana has been here a couple months now.
I’m really skinny now; you can only see my skin and bones.
Ana has taken complete control over me.
I guess I should’ve listened to Mother…
It’s too late now.
If I even eat just a bit, it comes right back up.
It doesn't even taste good, whenever it happens; I can’t help but cry,
I told Ana I can’t be friends with her anymore…
She’s ruining my life.
I didn't know what else to do.
She cried for me to stay,
But I told her I couldn't.
I tried to eat again, but I just threw up.
I think I’m getting sick…
I’m sitting in the hospital bed right now…
I’m not sure what’s going on, but I feel really light headed.
I asked mother what’s going on, and she just said I’m really, really sick.
I guess this is what I get for wanting to be skinny.
I don’t think I’m going to make it.
There isn't anything able to keep me alive right now.
This isn't what I wanted.
I screamed out bloody murder to Ana, but I’m not sure it meant anything.
I just know I’m not here anymore. And I have Ana to thank for it…
