If the girl looks familar to you, Alex Ross used her as the model for "Maggie" in Marvels.

	The sad thing is: I lived with the real-life counterpart of the caretakers in this story. Gah. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thanks, but reading back, maybe I'd better clarify a little. What I mean is: I once had a roommate and a couple of her buddies tell me that you don't need to feel any empathy for "ugly" people. Because, you know, nine times out of ten, "ugly" people are evil, bitter assholes anyway. Uh, yeah. Sure. O_o (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds like they were ugly and justifying themselves. >_> (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, trust me. None of us were in any danger of being mistaken for super-models. That's what made the whole exchange so deliciously "WTF"?? (Reply to this) (Parent)

The nurses from the foster home/orphanage certainly reminded me of a former step mother of mine, who treated my step sister like crap..

And I'm sure I've spoken to a Doctor just as insensitive as this at one point..

So yeah, it's ironic most people probably read this and think that it's lacking in subtlety, and a bit unrealistic. But having encountered people like this in real life, I have absolutely no problem with suspension of disbelief here..None at all.

	Ugh. :( Yeah, subtlety is not the story's strong point. But its distortions are based in reality, so they strike a nerve with the viewer. Like any good horror/suspense story should. (Reply to this) (Parent)
