*Nya crawled her grotesque midget body down through the hallway, it was dark enough now outside that she could risk trying to steal food from the nearby restaurants trash. She walked quietly to the trash can, hoping to find something special tonight. She believed it was her 18th birthday. She hadn't spoken with another human since she was a child when her parents abandoned her, she didn't know if she even remembered how. As she tried to climb into the dumpster, she heard a voice behind her saying "Can I help you?". Nya froze, she felt the weight of her embarrassment drag her down like an anchor. She knew she was a hideous and vile creature that no one should have to ever lay their eyes on. She tried not to move an inch, hoping the mystery person would just walk away*
