Felix is young and hungry.  
He’s walking down a side street
where there’s no traffic.  

He’s hungry.  

Felix is looking through car windows,
and testing each car door
to see if it will open.  

He’s hungry.

Felix is a thief.  
He doesn’t feel bad about being a thief.  
He’s more concerned about being hungry.

He’s hungry

Bobby

Simon,

Thanks for the kind words.  I’m pleased you liked it.

Tomtoo,

That’s exactly right.

The human body is holy and sacred.  It must be cared for and taken care of to the best of a person’s ability.  It's an obligation.

Nothing needs to be added indeed, your words are impressive, dear Bobby.

Hunger is maybe the strongest drive that we can feel.

Margherita,

Isn't it though.  It can make you sick, and crazy.  I don't want to go there again.

Midnitesun,

Thank you so much for the very kind words.

Felix struggles may be heartbreaking but they are enjoyable to read.
