Excerpt
Sitting up on the table, I notice the jack-o-lantern next to me. It's one of the few things I ever did with my father. It's our ritual. Yellow candlelight fills its triangle eyes and leaks out its jagged mouth.
". . . once you open that door . . . once you give into that hunger . . . "
The girl tonight was nineteen and a year older than me. She fought and she cried.
". . . hunger . . . in the end, we got to remember that everything's hungry."
