"and right at the end was"

Good morning!

Did they call names again? Did I win?

..."Win?" Win what?

[overlyingsmile]

The game!

[steel_massifail]

T-This isn't a game.

[overlyingsmile]

If a bunch of names were called and they had already moved onto the next round, of course it's a game!

Does that mean no one was called?

[katto_katto]

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!

[So Romano's going to the kitchen to at least try and cook something, because even if he's scared to death, he still gets hungry, dammit-when he sees his daughter. Whose mutilated corpse was shown on the TV set a few days ago.

So he screams and hides behind a wall, because he's just so brave.]

[overlyingsmile]

[She looks back at him, having heard the scream.]

Father! Did you catch the news earlier? Did I show up?

[ciaobastards]

You were murdered, dammit!

[He thinks you're a ghost now, but he's got his myths mixed up so he runs back to the kitchen and grabs some garlic...obviously he didn't get the memo yet that it was all a trick.]
