Food: Winner, Winner, Chicken _ _ _ _ Kindle Edition

Is there anything you wouldn't eat if it meant saving your family?

Even during the years preceding the Downfall and the creation of the Kingdom of Pacifica, food is scarce. Social injustice and hardship, however, is quite plentiful.

Sharren Menter, widow and mother of three young children, works long, hard days at a factory in Tacoma, Washington. But it isn't enough. Even with foraging for less than savory alternatives, like roadkill, she can't reliably feed her family. And every day life is getting worse. National and local government is losing control. States are seceding. The environment is collapsing. Chaos and misery are becoming the new normal.

Then the opportunity of a lifetime falls in Sharren's lap.

All she has to do is compete in a new game show and beat three other contestants. The competition -- three rounds of "food preparation challenges." The show producer is mysterious as to what that means. But Sharren doesn't care. She can't care. Because the prize is something she cannot pass up. It isn't money. Money is practically worthless when the grocery stores are practically empty. It isn't fame. Fame is now utterly worthless because no one cares about anyone else.

The prize: food. And lots of it. The winner's family receives generous quantities of luxury foods for an entire year.

For someone like Sharren, this prize is simply too enticing to pass up. She'll just have to find out what the game is when she shows up...

WARNING: This is an extreme horror short story. It contains graphic depictions of harm to animals. It also contains violence, coarse language, human degradation, and dark dystopian content.

Jeffrey Caston is a Northwest native who currently makes his home in the Puget Sound region. Inspired by reading at a young age, he took up writing by the age of 11. One of his most cherished gifts is a manual typewriter he received for his birthday while still in the fifth grade.

Once he got older, he discovered other genres, including horror. He became an instant fan of Anne Rice and Stephen King.

He is embarking on a new phase in life with indie writing. His writing will have a marked horror bent, but will include elements of thrillers, science fiction, and fantasy. His debut novel, Immunity, marks the start of his "Horrific Northwest" setting and multiverse.

Food: Winner, Winner, Chicken_ _ _ _ by Jeffrey Caston, is a well-written, gripping, and gruesome horror story.
I really enjoyed it!
I liked the writing style, the plot, the development of the characters and the final twist.
Jeffrey Caston has a creative imagination. The events described in this story are horrendous and could be real in humanity's future, if we are not careful.
I highly recommend this story!
I can't wait to read the other stories in this series.

Four lucky or unlucky people are selected for a new game show. The winner walks away with enough food for a year. This is great considering food is scarce. Some things are too good to be true though…

A fantastically gripping and brutal book. The things the contestants went through would surely test anyone even the reader. Maniacal hosts that taunt and mock the contestants and brutes that intimidate all mix together for an insane story driven by desperation and the hope to survive. I look forward to the rest of the books in this series.

I was absorbed! Now I see the beginning of this world. I was with these characters. I will keep reading the world and finding out more as Jeff lets us know more. Now I feel like I need to reread in order.

This has all the components of many of my favorite stories put together so creatively (plus gore) and revealing itself a little at a time.
It’s very detailed and thorough for something short, so it made me forget I wasn’t settling down for a read. I can see this becoming even more brilliant and vivid.
Great story. Smooth execution. Keep going! Loved it!

If the gameshow in Stephen King's The Running Man had been reimagined by Hannibal Lecter, Jason Voorhees, and John Kramer (Jigsaw)... we might have something like this...

Reading it was like watching a train wreck unfold in slow motion before my eyes. There was no way I could look away.

A clever, imaginative, and gripping short story.

Now I know... I've been wondering about the cover for days while finding the courage to flip to the first chapter. A TV game show in dystopian Puget Sound. Yesss, I'm a chicken (wink) when it comes to stomach-churning horror, but I did enjoy this short story. What a twisted ending!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling Intro - Can't Wait!
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2023
This story was completely unexpected and not anything that I thought it would be about. I was expecting a gross food eating contest. I was not expecting a dystopian sequel complete with alien invasion, alien rescue, the impending collapse of modern civilization and the rise of regional strongholds within the former U.S.

And I was not expecting such an emotional attachment to a few of the characters.

I loved the beginning glossary of names and events of the series "Food," for which this is the sequel. And I am very much looking forward to reading more from this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Horror Short Story
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 10, 2021

Jeffrey Caston's prequel to his two Food stories is a dark & brutal dystopian tale that is definitely not for the faint hearted.
In a world where there are huge food shortages people will do many things to survive. Appearing on a TV show to win a years worth of food seems pretty straightforward.....until the contestants learn the extreme measures they will need to go to if they want the prize.
This short story fits nicely into the world Caston has already created, but it still works well as a stand alone story. Highly recommended.
