Hungry Business: A Short Story by Maria DeBlassie. This is a very short story- but with Ms. DeBlassie’s clever touches, it feels like a much longer novel- in the best possible way. The story is original, interesting, and a little quirky. I felt this was a little bit of a tongue in cheek look at loneliness and the lengths people will go to find ‘the one’- even in the aftermath of a Zombie pandemic. But, on a side note- I personally don’t think that people have to be ‘Zombies’ to display the characteristics/actions our MC comes up against in her quest for love (lol).
Ms. DeBlassie paints a vivid picture- her world building talents coming to the fore. She has a bold and dynamic style that takes hold of your imagination and pulls you into the story- tugging you along for the ride. Her attention to detail and rich descriptions adds to the texture and visual quality of her work.
This was such an intriguing piece- with things left a little ‘open’ for more. So I really hope Ms. DeBlassie revisits this in the future as I feel there is a bigger story to be told- and I am hungry for more.

Thank you, Maria DeBlassie!
