     At night I was so hungry, my stomach growled as if I were an angry bear. At night I lay awake concentrating (1) than [on]food. "Maybe tomorrow I'll get dinner," I said, (2) for [to] myself. Hours later, I would drift off to sleep, fantasizing (3) at [about] food. I mainly dreamt of hamburgers (4) than [with] all the fixings. In my dreams I seized my prize and brought (5) [it] to my lips. The meat dripped with grease, (6) [and] thick slices of cheese bubbled on top. Condiments oozed out from (7) [between]the lettuce and tomato. As I brought the hamburger closer to my face, I opened my mouth to devour my prize, (8) [but] nothing happened. No matter how hard I struggled, I could not taste a morsel (9) [of] my fantasy. Moments later I would wake up with my stomach more hollow (10) at [than]before. I could not satisfy my hunger; not even in my dreams.
