Copy Kat
Copy Kat is based on the short story "The Prank" (available in A Collection of Short Stories). It is a prequel to the events and details the early life of the actor Ely Hudson who plays "Jack" on the #1 hit series CopyCat.
Ely Hudson is living the dream—or so it seems. As the star of a wildly popular TV series CopyCat, he plays Jack, a chilling serial killer who dishes out poetic, karmic justice by eliminating other killers in the exact ways they murdered their victims, and carefully recreating their gruesome scenes and acts, driven by a twisted sense of justice.
His portrayal is so convincing, so raw, it quickly becomes the talk of Hollywood. But in his pursuit of perfection, Ely delves too deep into the art of method acting. What starts as intense preparation for his role soon blurs the lines between fiction and reality. He begins stalking random people to try to get into the killer's mindset. As Ely spirals further into madness, the boundaries of who he is and who he plays begin to collapse. Jack isn’t just a character anymore—he’s a force, a dark shadow that haunts Ely’s every move. Soon, Ely finds himself caught in the grip of this destructive obsession, addicted to the power of the character that now controls his every breath.
In Copy Kat, the pursuit of a perfect performance turns into a deadly game of life and death, where acting isn't just a craft—it's a compulsion that threatens to consume everything. Can Ely escape the suffocating grip of his own creation, or will he become the very monster he once portrayed?
In a future where every bite is engineered in pristine laboratories, the world celebrates the end of traditional farming. There are no more fields, no livestock, no limits—humanity has created a food utopia. And when Global Nourish, the corporation controlling the world’s food supply, introduces Zero Food, the ultimate diet product, it seems like a miracle. Zero calories, full flavor—millions shed pounds effortlessly.
But miracles have consequences.
A genetic mutation spreads through the food supply, transforming everything into Zero Food. Suddenly, humanity is faced with a grim reality. But there is still hope. The food isn’t calorie-free like most people think—it’s 90% empty. To survive, people must gorge themselves at ten times the normal rate just to maintain their weight. The world’s stockpiles quickly dwindle, and soon, there’s no food left.
With oceans poisoned by a nuclear accident and farms a distant memory, desperation takes hold. As society crumbles and governments fall, people turn to the only remaining source of sustenance: each other. Riots erupt, communities shatter, and survival becomes a deadly game where morality is a luxury no one can afford.
Bill Grundling, a food scientist at Global Nourish, tries to uncover the truth behind the mutation. But as he searches for answers—and a solution—he must navigate a world spiraling into chaos, where trust is dangerous, and every shadow hides someone hungrier than the last.
In The Hunger, humanity’s technological triumph becomes its undoing in a chilling tale of survival, desperation, and the horrifying price of progress. How far would you go to survive when the world runs out of food—and you’re what’s left on the menu?
