"and right at the end was"

Good morning!

Did they call names again? Did I win?

No one won anything. There were only losers.

[overlyingsmile]

That's not true. Even if we played, we're still winners in some way, aren't we?

[katto_katto]

You've never read "The Lottery", have you?

[overlyingsmile]

I think I remember that story.

An entire town plays a game, and a single woman wins. I think that her prize was a better way to live!

[katto_katto]

Oh yes! Of course the best way to live is to not live at all.

And everyone else had to kill her! What a happy ending!

[overlyingsmile]

Everyone helped her get to that better life! It really was a happy ending, wasn't it?

[katto_katto]

Quite, quite.
