The Mind's Pantry.
Title: The Mind's Pantry.
Author: falsefoxglove.
House: Slytherin.
Word Count: 100.
Rating: PG-13.
Characters/Pairings: Barty Crouch Jr.
Challenge: Starve.
Author's Note: Cut for a teeny bit of slightly naughty language.
Stone cell walls are like stacks of unleavened bread (like the ones Mother made when Winky was too rundown to bake). He smells shit, spunk, puss; the spoiled eggwhite scent of fear. Dementors have little effect, lately--he's already cannibalized the crumbs of hope and happiness of his mind's pantry. It's not enough. Barty's a growing boy, must eat more. Backbone gnaws at stomach. Yellowing teeth gnaw at whatever they can reach.
Years later, after escaping, he tongues his lips to assure himself they're not bloody shreds of flesh--in the darkness, he'd taken to cannibalizing more than just thoughts.
