Zana’s Reviews > Why Don't We Just Kill The Kid in the Omelas Hole > Status Update

"And of course, it was true that the whole city literally ran on the load-bearing suffering child in a very real physical way that was not a metaphor. And everyone really liked having running power and no blackouts and good schools and low crime and community-oriented government and safe sidewalks and public transit that worked."

We're out here sacrificing kids and we still don't have all that 🇺🇸

"It went viral like a snuff film went viral or Kim Kardashian’s first sex tape went viral"

"...even though we knew that there was a kid in the hole, now that’s three times as many kids in the hole, and it’s extra sad because we usually don’t kill the kid in the hole, they usually die of old age or malnutrition.

None of this mattered to the living third kid in the hole, who was not enjoying the hole experience."

'They stormed the hole and broke the kid out and slit the kid’s throat on public television (as all television in Omelas was publicly funded), and they said, “Look at what sort of shit your beautiful city is built on!” and the kid bled out and it was extremely graphic to the point of being censored in later broadcasts....'
