Then sat there watching their jaws drop... stunned... then asking their classmate if they actually understood the English correctly...

In fact, I think I'm going to put down my novel, grab a cup of Assam tea, and re-read 'The Lottery.' Brilliant work. Frightening... but brilliant!

High School? Was at most junior high... only the vaguest memory of it. At the time I was young enough to think that could not ever happen in real life.
