To Build a Fire by Jack London
We had to read "The Call of the Wild" by the same author. Every few chapters the main character, a dog, would wax poetic for a few paragraphs about how addicting the warm, salty taste of human blood was in his mouth.
It’s a simple story about a guy trying to build a fire.

He fails to build said fire.
