Chapter 6

The smell of meat cooking over the fire makes his mouth water. He can’t take it any longer. He grabs the meat with his bare hand while it’s still hot enough to burn him. He doesn’t even notice the heat. Using his teeth, he rips the meat from the bone. Barely chewing, he swallows and takes another bite, then another.

He cleans the meat off the bone within minutes. He then sits back, placing his hand on his stomach. His belly still grumbles, hungry for more.

He holds the clean bone between his teeth, takes his knife, and starts sawing off his other leg.

 Once cut from his body, he places it over the fire. His hunger has taken over his senses, becoming the only pain he feels as he stares at his leg being cooked. He wants it, he needs it. 

The smell of meat cooking over the fire makes his mouth water once more.
