Alex never understood how anyone celebrated something as sinister as The Lottery without being drugged or driven by fear—until the day her and her best friends' family were chosen. They watched as immigrants celebrated the winners' downfall in exchange for a check. At the same time, native-born Americans stood behind plexiglass, recording every moment in quiet complicity. No one resisted. No one intervened. The American people had grown numb to their own nightmare, lulled by a politician promising its citizens an award-winning plate of flesh and a glimmer of hope for the winner.Editing by Kat Powers (Most Recent Version)
