Jessica faces a choice

Jessica's eyes flutter open. Despite sleeping, she doesn't feel fully rested. She feels tired and confused, but more than anything else: hungry.

Jessica despairs of ever being able to control her thirst. It is too intense, too consuming. Her stomach rumbles. She smiles and thinks: for all their libertine posturing about freedom, we are slaves to our hunger.

I'm no killer, she tells herself, but realizes that talk is cheap.

Jessica is startled by a whimpering sound from across the room. She looks up to see a nude human female dangling from the ceiling, her hands bound above her attached to a hook in the ceiling. She is gagged, but is struggling in futile to free herself. She is a curvy blonde bordering on overweight, with thick thighs and heavy breasts. "Breakfast!" is sloppily written across the captive's chest in marker.

Jessica can smell the captive from her bed, the aroma is intoxicating. She subconciusly moves her hand between her legs, stroking herself. She takes a deep breath and tries to suppress her exponentially increasing thirst.

Jessica rises from the bed tentatively and approaches the bound human. She moves almost involuntarily, magnetically drawn to the captive, the girl's beating heart thundering in Jessica's ears.
