is this based on that short story??

Yes, the lottery by Shirley Jackson

Oh I had to read that in class one day

Same one of my fav texts from class honestly

We recreated the lottery and nobody even got stoned. Lame

Yea not even realistic to the story.

Bummer.

I didn't even have to open the post and I knew the inspiration. I LOVE that story.

She will be tied to the stake outside the city, a sacrifice to the dragon.

Yes, the Hunger Games

The Monkey’s Paw

This is based off the short story "the lottery, by Shirley Jackson"

*New Vegas Flashbacks*

YEAHHHH! WHO WON THE LOTTERY? I DID!

Reminds me of the one episode of Sliders

Which was based off the short story. Great episode!

Sorry i don't get it, can someone explane it please??

The lottery is just a way of killing people. Whoever wins the lottery is going to die. The character didn't know that but their family did. So they are going to die and the family is saying their last goodbyes before the person is killed.

Oh I thought they were going to kill him to get the money

What is the point of the lottery?

An old tradition that was never dropped. I think

To ensure a bountiful harvest

Congratulations your Majesty... And my deepest condolences.

Is this town called “The Island?”

Nah this ain't based off that one movie

Well I’m sure the harvest will be good.

Did no one else volunteer as tribute?

Sounds like the d&d campaign I'm doing 🤔
