SCARY STORY: Famishment
03/31/20 • 13 min
In a lost and lonely town, food is a scarcity, a right of the rich, and a traveler comes to sell the poor and starving on an elixir to produce meat where none previously grew. And the townspeople rejoice and partake! Young and skeptical mother, Catherine, just wants to feed her son, Samuel, so she approaches The Traveler with reticence to sample his concoction and provide for her boy. She soon learns the cost to buying stories too good to be true and must choose between motherhood and her own seething hungers.
Famishment is written by Kevin LaPorte. It is based on characters from his comic book series, Last Ride of the 4 Horsemen, which is funding now through April 19 on Kickstarter. Please support, if you can.
Ain't No Such Thing is narrated and produced by Amanda Rachels
