Food In Writing

Alisa: I never knew who my parents were. You see, I was left at the steps of the convent as a child and it is at the convent where I grew up. But something is wrong with me. I woke up on my eighteenth birthday with an insatiable hunger, a hunger that no food can satisfy. I soon realized that there was only one thing that could satisfy me. The pleasures of the flesh. Because of that, I was branded a succubus, a demoness who seduces and sucks the life force out of her victims. The convent, they wanted to ‘cleanse’ my soul, they wanted to rip me apart and clean me inside out. I was scared. So I ran and ran and that was when I found him…. Alpha Ryder: I came from the strongest pack. We have everything we needed; money, fame and power. But a prophecy hangs over our pack. A succubus will come and seduce the one in power, tearing the pack apart and burning all that we have worked for to the ground. I grew up with the prophecy in my heart. As Alpha of the Red Moon pack, I will let nothing stand in my way. Nothing. But then I met her. And everything changed….

On a stormy night during the apocalypse, my own mother threw me out of the house while I was burning with fever, along with my husky, so my little brother would have a better chance of surviving. She shouted through the crack in the door, “Take that useless mutt and go die somewhere. Stop wasting your brother’s food!” I huddled in a pile of trash with my dog in my arms, convinced I was going to die. Then my husky suddenly spoke. “Host’s vital signs critically low. Infinite Supply Search System activated.” “Supermarket warehouse one hundred meters ahead. Three thousand freeze-dried meals detected.” “Pharmacy five hundred meters to the left. Five hundred boxes of antibiotics detected.” Three days later, I’d built a fortress with packs of dogs and mountains of supplies. I sat inside eating steak and watching the show. Outside the barbed wire, my mother and brother were on their knees, fighting each other over half a piece of moldy bread. I smiled. “Mom, even dogs wouldn’t eat that. Better savor it.”

After a one-night stand with Garvin Berret, the Powerful and cold CEO, Iris Parker was smitten and she thought there could be something between them. Her hopes crushed by his harsh words, "I don't eat the same food twice." Broken, she returned to her city to manage her family business but soon realized that a seed had been planted. Giving birth to a set of twins, she could not endure raising them alone, when they looked exactly like him. She sent one of them to Garvin with a note, "dessert after supper." Garvin frowned when he received the parcel, his son. He sent people to fetch that blondie but it was as if she disappeared from the face of the earth. After five years his son asked, “Daddy, why does everyone have a mama except me?” The other twin said to Iris, “Mummy please, I want my daddy. A lot of women were ready to marry Garvin and be the mother to his son but he said coldly to each one of them, “only one woman can be my wife and that is my son's biological mother.”
