Hunger (English version)

Sun was darkening. There were no leafs, there were no caterpillars and hunger was pressing. Finally he made up his mind. He devoured the child he was taking care off in the last few days. The meat was tender and with some unpleasant sweet taste. But he could not take it anymore. He threw up. Hunger disappeared. The light turned grey and dry. Hunger came back. His throat became witness of his anger and never swallowed again. His skin started to dry up and he did not move anymore.

When they finally found him he seemed to be peacefully sleeping. His skin was bitter dry. Beside him they also found the small bones from the baby he tried to eat. The people from the town decided not to bury him. He did not deserve it. In fact, they were very hungry. They devoured him and all went forgotten.
