The Cannibalism in the Cars by Mark Twain

Cannibalism in the Cars is a short story by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) which satirises the political system of the United States of America.
The story is about a group of men trapped in a train during a snow storm. After a week, the men know that they must resort to cannibalism for survival. They hold ineffective elections, and are so formal that they even follow parliamentary procedure.

Very good reading. Twain is also having a little fun with the overblown style of 19th century political rhetoric, and if you've read some of it, you'll see he's pitch perfect.

I directed the one-act play based on this book back in high school (the 90's). It was fun!
