This is a collection of stories that echo with the yearning to be replenished, to be made full. Here are characters at cusp-points in their lives, attempting to shift their trajectories: to cease wrapping up heart's desire in a pink bubble by launching it into the universe. Some turn to ESP, some to a belief in ghosts, some to the future caught inside a glass bottle, each character taking the hackneyed adage Follow Your Bliss too literally to blissfully follow their own storyline. Emotional charged, evocative, and lush, Hunger Moons thirteen short stories each set out on profound quests to satisfy an emotional hunger.
