Well, this is probably the most creepy story I've read in forever....
"The Lottery" was a spooky story, and I really didn't like it. It reminded me of Stephen King and the Twilight Zone. My mom told me she saw the movie in middle school, and it still scares her some times.
About halfway through the lottery was when I first started to realize something wasn't right. It's like watching a horror movie and knowing that the girl who just said "Bye!" to her parents as they drive away for the night is going to be in deep trouble once the sun sets and the phone rings... Ugh. It also reminded me of some kind of cult town, how they were all so civilized and then randomly starting to stone some one to death. Which is gruesome, but actually better than what I had expected to happen. It also reminded me of every day life. People might like you one day and then turn on you completely the next.
This is also kinda off topic, but when the town turned on Tessie, I immediately pictured her as Everett in a hairnet saying, "Damn! We're in a tight spot!" Over and over again.
All in all, I thought it was a creepy story, and shall now move on to cheerier posts. And Megan is here in one week too!
