The Lottery in Babylon was another interesting story I thought as well. The idea of gaming and losing and winning gives me a sense of danger and risk. But in this case the winner wins it all and the loser if left with dealing with something that was beyond. They had to deal with their own nightmares. That I thought was very dark. The idea of theology pops into this story as well it seem as if they play on the leaving everything up to chances and in the powers of something great then themselves.
