I remember hearing that in one of the Dark Sun modules, you are slaves who have successfully revolted. However, you are also in the middle of the desert and don't have enough resources to get to civilization. Can someone confirm, because I think this makes a good non-sci fi example.

I think another good example is in Willa Cather's book, My Antonia, wherein Peter and Pavel were driving a coach with a newly married couple in it , and they were being chased by wolves. In order to lighten the coach so they could get away, they threw the couple to the wolves. I don't know if it counts since it's not sci-fi, though.
