The Hunger Games

When they came up with a more efficient system that transported the coal directly from the mines to the trains, the Hob gradually took over the space. The space gets tighter, more claustrophobic as people arrive. The winner sits in a place of honor on the platform, surrounded by their support crew. The cold would be torture enough, but the real nightmare is listening to Cato, moaning, begging, and finally just whimpering as the mutts work away at him.
