Sometimes hunger isn't about food.
It's the craving for dignity, truth, connection-and the irony that we'll starve for the very things we pretend to have in abundance.
In The Hunger Fames, Alex Marmalade serves five darkly ironic stories where appetites collide with survival:
Feeding Time - A zookeeper keeps feeding a half-dead bear while a starving crowd presses against the gates.
Tamei - A priest on the road to promotion finds a dying man in his path, and has a decision to make.
Parlez-Vous Anglais? - A retired teacher demands the authentic tour, only to discover the château has its own lesson plan.
The Hunger Fames - An influencer livestreams her own kidnapping, and her followers can't decide whether to call the police or just keep watching.
Kokoro no Omosa - A scale designed to measure bodies begins weighing something far heavier.
Each story leaves its characters-and its readers-facing the hungers we can't ignore forever.
