    Shirley Jackson
    “They do say," Mr. Adams said to Old Man Warner, who stood next to him, "that over in 
    the north village they're talking of giving up the lottery."

    Old Man Warner snorted. "Pack of crazy fools," he said. "Listening to the young folks, nothing's good enough for them. Next thing you know, they'll be wanting to go back to living in caves, nobody work any more, live hat way for a while. Used to be a saying about 'Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon.' First thing you know, we'd all be eating stewed chickweed and acorns. There's always been a lottery, he added petulantly. "Bad 
    enough to see young Joe Summers up there joking with everybody."
    "Some places have already quit lotteries." Mrs. Adams said.
    "Nothing but trouble in that," Old Man Warner said stoutly. "Pack of young fools.”
    Shirley Jackson, The Lottery

    “The lieutenant of the youth's company was shot in the hand. He began to swear so wondrously that a nervous laugh went along the regimental line. The officer's profanity sounded conventional. It relieved the tightened senses of the new men. It was as if he had hit his fingers with a tack hammer at home.”
    Stephen Crane, The Red Badge of Courage
