You're probably thinking 'well, what makes this story any different than someone else's?'.

The difference is that this really did happen. Mia really did get flung, quite literally, into a different time. Mia really did fall at the feet of her saviour (although at first he was not too trusting).

Where to start? I guess, no better place to start than at the very beginning.

Mia drummed her fingers on the table. The food glaring at her. Well, that's what it felt like. Food was not one of Mia's friends, and it was something she battled with every single day. She picked up her knife and fork, glancing up quickly at her 'mentor'.

Sally smiled, "Come on Mia, remember you can't leave the table until you've eaten everything".

The thing is, eating wasn't the issue. Mia could eat and eat and eat, but the problem was trying to actually keep the food down. She wasn't a glutton for punishment, but the thought of a whole lot of food sitting in her stomach terrified her.

At 21, Mia wasn't at the best place. She had been struggling with Bulimia since she was about 16. Funny that her name was Mia and her illness was Bulimia. Mia rolled her eyes, and took a bite of a piece of potato. She could feel the oiliness of the food coating her mouth, making her feel ill. Mia was quite strict with the food she allowed herself to eat. No sugar, salt and absolutely no oil. Fat had to be cut off every piece of meat before she'd even attempt to eat it.

To be honest, Mia was stuck. She was stuck in a giant hole, terrified to try to climb out, scared of what might be on the other-side. She had had the company of monsters for so long that she had forgotten what it was like to be confident.

This dark, damp seeming 'hospital' was awful. So many skeletons surrounded her. Lifeless eyes peering out of hollowed out faces. And what terrified herself even more was that when she looked in the mirror, she saw the exact same image peering back at her.

Unfortunately, after eating, Mia had to stay in the dining area for at least an hour so that she wouldn't be able to bring her food up.
