For two hours, all the children, each man and his wife, made a choice amongst themselves to sacrifice a life While the grass was growing green with the flowers in bloom, one person in town would soon be encountering doom. Some big piles of stones were gathered up by every boy; Bobby Martin, the Jones boys, and Dickie Delacroy. As mixed conversations percolated all around, Mr. Summers and the black box were soon to be found. This object was very old and showed much splintering, after being used many years for this offering Mr. Summers asked the town for a new edition. They turned him down, not wanting to break with tradition. With much of the ritual forgotten and not clear, little slips of paper were placed in the box each year Old Man Warner, the senior citizen living here said to Mr. Adams who was standing very near: “Seventy-seven years I’ve been participating in this lottery for which everyone is waiting! I tell you there’s no other way; it’s needed in June. We sacrifice life for the corn to be heavy soon”. Mr. Summers called by name, heads of each family; all in alphabetical order from A to Z. Every head of household chose individually; beginning with Adams, and ending with Zanini. When every man had a slip of paper in his hand, “Open up” said Mr. Summers with modest demand. “The paper with a black pencil mark will indicate its holder is the sacrifice we all designate” Along came Bill Hutchinson’s wife Tessie running late; shocked to see her husband holding the paper of fate. Mr. Summers asked “How many in the family? Bill replied “Five. Three children, my wife Tessie, and me.” Mr. Summers took the slip and put in four blanks more; back into the black box after opening its door. Then each of the Hutchinsons was told to reach inside. The one holding the paper with the mark would decide. Mr. Summers checked the papers and said with his voice: “We have our sacrifice! Tessie Hutchinson’s our choice!” “It isn’t fair!” Yelled Tessie, crying loud and frantic. The people grabbed stones with Tessie running in panic. They all caught up with her in the middle of a field, and stoned her to death without any apparent yield! Based on the short story "The Lottery" by the late Shirley Jackson
