Tom King used to be a glorious boxer, but he’s growing old. After earning and then spending a lot of money, he can’t even afford to eat a piece of steak for dinner. Perhaps a fight with an opponent called Sandel could redeem him. Tom King is a hardened fighter, but today he is facing a new and terrible Youth. This is a short story about survival, pride, and the passing of time. We all have a sense of hunger for something, whether it’s glory or a simple piece of meat.
