Shades of Carnivorous . Top Story - August 2024.
Arturo The boy starves to become to the man he needs to be. He exists in a vacuum of terror and scary questions that cannot be released without paying a large price for freedom. He latches onto deep, dark reds, to soak in his hunger like a ravenous wolf.

He is carnivorous inside, a growling pang of non-stop hunger for something deeper.
