A Shelby Story

Once upon a time there was a beautiful baby girl. Born with moonlight on her golden hair she was the jewel of her parents' eyes. They placed the name Shelby Alyse Frampton upon her. Her childhood was spent in laughter. Skipping through flowery meadows and playing with her plethora of stuffed animals. She soon blossomed into a young lady. Some called her ordinary, others: strange. But she loved life. She loved her family. She loved her friends. She loved herself. And that's what really matters.

She also loved food.

Suddenly, a terrifying monster came and stole her away and locked her up in the tallest tower on the tallest mountain where she could never live the same again. This monster was called Unknown-hidden-hated-allergies. He was ugly. Big. HUMONGOUS. He stole away people's food so they could never eat and always be hungry. He starved children. Killed them even. All because of his jealousy that he didn't have parents and friends that loved him. But, he was especially jealous of Shelby. No one really knows why. And on one COMPLETELY RANDOM DAY he decided to pick on her worst of all. Worse than all the others he terrorized and tortured.

He took away her blood.

Made her pass out.

She went into a fit of hysterics.

She couldn't stop crying for hours.

She was traumatized.

She waited. And waited. And waited.

Finally:               he came back.

Bringing her blood with him, he punished her with his all-grand-and-shocking punishment. She was allergic to Gluten, milk, and eggs.

Shelby cried in despair "How shall I eat!? There is nothing in this world made without gluten, milk, or eggs! I shall surely starve and die and Unknown-hidden-hated-allergies will have his wish!". But... Shelby was a strong girl. She was determined. She couldn't let the monster win!

So. For months and months she ate Gluten. She ate milk! She. Ate. EGGS! She struggled. She fought. And she did conquer. Until...

She discovered this disease runs in her family!
It attacks internal organs. It is dangerous.

The Unknown-hidden-hated-allergies won again. He wouldn't give up. He was a worthy opponent. He was so strong, so powerful, so EVIL...

That Shelby starved and died.


THE END
