100 Words: Getting my fair share

We shared the food the usual way: divided into bowls, each one assigned a playing card.  Then we drew cards from a second pack to determine who got which bowl.  Only way to avoid arguments over who got the biggest portion.


I always seemed to draw the smallest portion.  Steve the largest, then Darrel.  


By week six I was sure it was fixed.  And I was desperate for meat.


I killed those two first, the other three when they found me spit roasting them.

Their bones buried deep, the food should last much longer as I wait to be found.
