The Hunt, Part 1

He felt the hunger pangs in his mortal coil again. This time they were stronger and didn't seem to want to subside. He knew he had to do something quickly, or he would be overcome. So he made a mad dash for the vending machine. He reached into his pocket only to discover that he had no change to obtain that which his body needed, the sustance for his soul.

He looked around and saw the fire extinguisher hanging on the wall. No one else was around anyway, and he was usually the last one to leave his workplace. He further glanced around and saw that there were no cameras watching his every move. So he yanked the fire extinguisher off the wall and smashed it into the vending machine. The glass shattered and he now had access to as much candy, chips, gum, and cookies as he wanted. He gathered as much as he could in his arms and headed back to his cubicle.

He sat down and began opening each item and eating it. About fifteen minutes later, he fell asleep, satisfied that his hunt had been successful.
