Hunger Season
Five years keeping her father alive taught her to disappear. Here, wanting shows on her skin as light — and the men who notice it won't let her look away.
A few women, for a while, can cross into the dream-sea — a private world more vivid than waking, made entirely of what she wants. No one watching. No bill to pay. The story is what the wanting does to her while she has it.
Each one is a woman, and the dream-sea only she could make.
