Army Wives

Denise: I keep thinking I got the X. In Shirley Jackson's story 'The Lottery', you know, where they stone the woman to death. Cause you never think it's gonna happen to you, and then you draw the X and you're the one. This is a short story by Shirley Jackson. The townspeople all gather and draw pieces of paper from a box, one of which is marked. The woman who draws the marked paper meets a terrible fate at the hands of the townspeople.
