The Voidfish and the Hunger: devourer of memories and devourer of worlds. What separates them? The Voidfish is inherently good, some say, because they are gentle, they are thoughtful, they love with a love that consumes. But they ooze static like venom, take and take and take and rarely return. Greedy for lives unlived by them. The Hunger is inherently bad, some say, because he is starving and relentless and determined. Because it is more, and more, growing like a disease through a bloodstream. But when he speaks he talks simply of loneliness, of desperation and a fearful existence. Hungry for someone, anyone. Two sides of the same coin, consuming and wreaking havoc. Isn’t it, simply, a matter of rumor, of legend? How different are they, truly?
