Oh, now this is a good one!
Thanks, PJ!
The "Death" at the end gave me a bit of a jolt, even though it's true.
Are visual hallucinations also part of long-term hunger?
I don't know, tbh. I did a quick internet search and couldn't find any link to the two, though it wasn't by any means thorough. I know that extreme thirst/dehydration can cause hallucinations, though.
