It’s been a while, but here’s what I remember:
1. The whole town got ready for the lottery
2. Everyone had to pick a piece of paper out of the black box
3. A woman (I forgot her name) gets the paper with the dot on it
4. The town stones her to death
It is that it is unrealistic to believe that wars are not deadly.

Because he was not treated week by her and was afraid of his wife.
