Hunger
A professional dancer struggles with his cravings for human flesh until his 'hambre', or hunger, becomes all encompassing. Accepting his status as an apex predator in human form, he fully embraces his life as a carnivorous hunter.

The grandmother figure in the story is an “artistic speaker” who performs in town but seems enigmatic to her own granddaughter. Over the course of the narrative, the granddaughter realizes that, far from succumbing to despair in old age, her grandmother is full of “young laughter that has found its way back to an old body.”
