Unsent Letters: Hunger
As the boy sat in the outside air, his mind fixated on the thing it always had, hunger. It was true it had been two nights since he gorged himself with bread. But behind that mundane absent gnaw, was a more… Abstract hunger. One that bread never sated. So he did what he had done many times. Distract himself from it, by writing a letter.
