Once upon a time there was a piece about the power hungry. About those who have lost their power and are now hungry to regain it. Regain power over their bodies, their minds, their ideas and even their imaginations. This piece is not about being hungry for the power of others. It is not about the power hungry taking power that does not belong to them. It is about them feeding off of their own power. And it is delicious.
