How is this confusing? How are some of you stumbling with this fairly straight forward story? Allow me to break it down barney style for the slower kids in the class. Bust out your safety scissors and crayons, here we go. *SPOILERS* the individual in the story cannot eat. Everything the individual (who I presume to be make) ingests makes him violently ill. He is convinced that one individual and his team of followers is poisoning his food and know him SO WELL they can predict anywhere he might go to get food. Whether this is the case or the man had gone crazy is never explained and for the intent of this story, it's unnecessary. Use your fucking imaginations kiddos. Moving on. Realizing that he is on the verge of death due to starvation, our protagonist concludes that unless he goes COMPLETELY out of his comfort zone, the antagonist and his minions, be they real or imagined, will continue to poison his food. The answer is cannibalism which the protagonist indulges in and finally satisfies his hunger. Some of you need remedial instruction and classes on creative thinking, Jesus fuck. To the author: well done. 8/10, I'd have liked more length, but the intentional vagueness worked well for me.
