Hunger

[Reader discretion is advised. This is a work of fiction, and some scenes may be distressing or triggering.]

Aiden, a twenty-one-year-old who moved to the city hoping for a fresh start, finds crushing bills, empty cupboards, loneliness, and a hunger that grows worse every day. After two lonely months, his new friend Felicia finally invites him to a party, where he hopes to meet new people and make real connections.

Instead, he meets Josh-a boy with sharp looks, reckless charm, and a way of making Aiden finally feel wanted. But their encounter marks the beginning of a dangerous new journey in Aiden's life.
