-->---'''Alex Mercer''', caring about someone for once.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6726188/1/Hunger Hunger]]'' is a ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'' fanfic written by Fanfiction.net user [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2737433/ TheWunn]].

The work's two main characters are the game's protagonist, [[PersonOfMassDestruction Alex Mercer]], and his sister, Dana. Other characters include Bradley Ragland, a doctor who Alex has some history with, an unnamed sexist businessman, the Infected Hive Mind, and Blackwatch's [[spoiler:new]] General[[spoiler:, who is later revealed as the NotQuiteDead Specialist Cross]]. When Alex learns that Dana is likely to die due to rapid cellular degeneration, he and Ragland infect her with a modified version of his own strain of the Blacklight virus. The story follows Dana's change from a scared young woman into a fully-fledged killing machine, with a large pile of corpses in between.

There is now a [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6767118/1/Gods_Among_Men sequel]] in the works, currently alternating on-and-off hiatus.

[[JustForFun/IThoughtThatWas Not to be confused]] with the [[{{Film/Hunger}} 2008 movie]] of the [[SimilarlyNamedWorks same name.]]

!!This work provides examples of:

* BeigeProse
