Living dead girl, by Elizabeth Scott

This horrifying story's first chapter begins with, "This is how things look." The second chapter begins with, "This is how things are," and we learn about a girl who was abducted five years ago and is still kept in terror by her abductor. She is numb. He won't let her eat, to keep her young looking, but she's growing anyway. He forces her to find her another, younger girl.
There are monsters living among us, and we don't see them; we only see "how things look."
Powerful and moving.
