"'All right, folks,' Mr. Summers said. 'Let's finish quickly.'"
What an incredible idea! I tell you, the logic behind this story is flawless. I mean, why not stone someone for no reason? Seems like a good idea to me. But no worries. It IS a fair lottery after all. It's the luck of the draw. Or should I say, the bad luck. Nothing irritates me more than pointless concepts in stories. This plot was terrible. If there was some deep, hidden meaning about the downfall and shortcoming of society I surely missed it. And I don't care to find it. Jackson wasted all of our time with a worthless story that has nothing to it. Why would they kill someone once a year? It doesn't make any sense. There is no reason to it. I understand it's a tradition in their little town, but one would think you would wake up and say, "Hey. This is really dumb. Let's not murder someone because our lives are so boring." Wow, good one Jackson. Write another one about ripping babies in half. Oh, wait. Ray Carver beat you to that one.
