Cannibalism in the Cars is a short story by Mark Twain (originally under the pen name of 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.

Read by Mike Bennett. Taken from the free podcast, Eleven Classic Short Stories. Available from www.Podiobooks.com
