Today's Short Is A Bit Dark (Which Is Probably Why I Love It)

It was -5° when I got up this morning, which probably helps to explain why I found today's short so funny. Well, that, and my cold, cold, shrunken heart. (Also, the sparse-yet-engaging style, the clever sound work, and the music are all basically perfect. It's like a Gary Larson cartoon, only animated.)

A group of logs is about to freeze to death in a cold, icy desert. When they realize that the only fuel for a warming fire is their own body, things start heating up.
