Summary
Spencer doesn’t get hungry anymore. He feels hunger, yes; he feels the growing black hole gingerly chewing at the nothing in his stomach, the TV static he sees when he stands up, his clammy hands clattering against his desk like cold teeth. But it’s not about a lack of food anymore. It’s just part of his existence.
