The morning of June 27th was clear and
sunny, with the fresh warmth of a fullsummer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly
green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the
post office and the bank, around ten o'clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two
days and had to be started on June 26th, but in this village, where there were
only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took less than two hours, so
it could begin at ten o'clock in the morning and still be through in time to
allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner. The children assembled first,
of course. School was recently over for the summer, and the feeling of liberty
sat uneasily on most of them; they tended to gather
together quietly for a while before they broke into boisterous play, and their
talk was still of the classroom and the teacher, of books and reprimands. Bobby
Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon
followed his example, selecting the smoothest and roundest stones; Bobby and Harry Jones and Dickie Delacroix the villagers
pronounced this name "Dellacroy"eventually made a great pile of
stones in one corner of the square and guarded it against the raids of the
other boys…. … "[The winner of the lottery is] Tessie," Mr. Summers
said, and his voice was hushed. "Show us her paper. Bill." Bill
Hutchinson went over to his wife and forced the slip of paper out of her hand.
It had a black spot on it, the black spot Mr. Summers had made the night before
with the heavy pencil in the coal company office. Bill Hutchinson held it up,
and there was a stir in the crowd. "All right, folks." Mr. Summers
said. "Let's finish quickly." Although the villagers had forgotten
the ritual and lost the original black box, they still remembered to use
stones. The pile of stones the boys had made earlier was ready; there were stones on the ground with the blowing scraps of paper
that had come out of the box. Mrs. Delacroix selected a stone so large she had
to pick it up with both hands and turned to Mrs. Dunbar. "Come on,"
she said. "Hurry up." Mrs. Dunbar had small stones in both hands, and
she said, gasping for breath. "I can't run at all. You'll have to go ahead
and I'll catch up with you." The children had stones already. And someone
gave little Davy Hutchinson few pebbles. Tessie Hutchinson was in the center of
a cleared space by now, and she held her hands out desperately as the villagers
moved in on her. "It isn't fair," she said. A stone hit her on the
side of the head. Old Man Warner was saying, "Come on, come on,
everyone." Steve Adams was in the front of the crowd of villagers, with
Mrs. Graves beside him. "It isn't fair, it isn't right," Mrs.
Hutchinson screamed, and then they were upon her. (From “The Lottery” by
Shirley Jackson)
