I like Hungry as the Grave. It has a nice rhythm.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

I dunno, my mind went immediately to Hungry Like the Wolf and big hair bands.

So which one do you like? It's okay if it's none of them.

The story would be a different twist on Poe's "Premature Burial."
I like "Hungry as the Grave," particularly since I found this:
Cruel as Death, and hungry as the Grave!
Burning for blood! bony, and gaunt, and grim!
Assembling wolves in raging troops descend;
And, pouring o'er the country, bear along,
Keen as the north wind sweeps the glossy snows.
All is their prize.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
There is another ballad similar to the "Unquiet Grave" .
A wife mourns her dead husband excessively, the dead husband comes back to comfort her. The results are not good.
Umm, obviously I don't remember the name.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Ooof. I have huge writer's block, made worse by trying to sort out chapter subjects that all seem to flow together.

Me, too, but that doesn't seem like a downside. I like Hungry As the Grave.
