Synopsis:
Travelers in a sleigh on the Russian steppes find themselves beset by wolves. The officer in the sleigh has a rifle with two bullets left that kills two wolves buying them some time to get closer to the town. The driver realizes they aren't going to make it, and proposes that one of them, the officer, a woman and her new baby, or the old man sacrifice themselves in order to save the others. One of them is hurled into the pack of slavering beasts but the story leaves it up to the reader to decide who.
