Five Sentence Fiction

His stomach wrenched with cavernous echoes. He could no longer take what he knew was coming, this moment in time where self sacrifice and survival became flesh. This was his reasoning for using his shoestring to tie his arm off at his elbow.
When he could no longer feel it, that was when he placed it over the small fire he had made to keep warm. As he started to eye his toes, he prayed the helicopter would show up soon.

 I just today came across this blog (thank you reddit)that does a unique writing exercise called Five Sentence Fiction. The blog is Lillie McFerrin Writes. This week was "your choice. After perusing the topics from weeks past I settled on Hunger. I kind of like it, and we may see more from our (protagonist?) soon enough. I think this will be a awesome new tool to help with flash pieces for submission, and our future serial here on Turncoat Racket, (don't think I've forgotten about it ;) ) amongst other things. Thanks again for the read.

    Thanks, my work tends to be best described as Bizarro. I think I can have a lot of fun with FSF.

    This is probably the most original piece I've read so far (or one of the most original, at least) -- not only is it a unique theme, but you're probably one of the few to have used the word 'hunger' in a literal, not metaphorical, sense.

    You know, I would have started with my toes, not with my arm, but that's just me.

    Cheers!

      Thanks So Much. I just really like walking and thought that if this is just a start, better with a meaty forearm, you know just enough to get you by.
