Waking Hunger

Carissa is a college senior who has lived a comfortable life. She has, for the most part, played by the rules; excelling scholastically and remaining under the radar as far as any kind of trouble would be concerned. A typical, California raised suburban girl, who has always been considered attractive and likable. With graduation approaching, things are about to change, just as they always do when reaching a milestone. However, life has a way of tripping up the most well laid plans sometimes and sling-shotting events into overdrive. That never happens to a girl like Carissa though. At least it’s not supposed to in her world.

Timing, however, has its hand in everything many will say. Fantasies and their freedom have laid dormant for most of her young adult life, tucked away in a cocoon of safety.
