HUNGER
by Serena Norr
Cybil is hungry. Hungry for her mother’s attention. Hungry for her dad who left. Hungry for a life where she can just be. Unable to communicate these needs, she makes herself less by not eating and obsessing over “perfect” bodies that she pours over in her magazines. When Lulu, a model from one of her magazines comes to life, Cybil finds herself teaching Lulu how to be a teen in the real world, as Lulu has an intense hunger that can’t be filled. As Cybil becomes smaller and smaller (visually becoming the person she always wanted to be), Lulu finds herself wanting more from the real world, becoming filled by food – and everything in Cybil’s life that she hates as Lulu seemingly starts to become a “real” person.
