Hunger... stomach hurts.

Smell flesh. Meat. Food. Blood. Throat dry.

Stomach clenches. Saliva starts to drip. Legs already moving.

Get to food.

Something hits. Pain. Ignore. Get to the food. Faster. Claws dig into dirt.

Blocked. Others.

Claws. Teeth. Pain.

I Teeth. I Claws.

Get to the food.

Struggle. Fear.

Pain stops. FOOD. Small bones? Food smell gone.

Empty inside. Eyes keep moving. Sound from stomach.

Eat small bones.

****

Stomach pain. Smell meat. Food.

Get food.

Claws. Teeth. Pain.

Fear.

Food? Nothing. Eyes wander.

Eat dirt.

****

Smell food.

Get food. Move!

Claws. Teeth. Pain.

Food? None. See stick.

Eat stick.

Stomach sounds again.

****

Again.

****

Again.

****

Stomach hurts never stop.
