Feast or Famine
by Jon Minton
Theresa Salomé is cursed and blessed. Every Friday the 13th, she must
kill and cannibalize her victim, extending her life. She’s collected
knowledge, amassed wealth, and watched empires come and go. But as
centuries pass, the cycle and isolation threaten to tear her mind
apart.
Michael Durmaz can’t tell if he’s cursed, possessed, or hallucinating.
The urge to kill on Friday the 13th is overwhelming. Horrific
nightmares detail hellish deeds but promise heavenly rewards. Leaning
on faith has given him the strength to deny his hunger, but when he
receives a terminal diagnosis, he worries the decision may cut his
life short.
Everything changes when they meet. Michael’s determined to rise above
his cravings, but Theresa believes everyone deserves a seat at the
table. Both are searching for who they are: monsters, a preview of
humanity’s future, or a new variety of pawns for gods and devils.
