    Summary

    So, this is the first I've ever been able to turn in fanfiction (albeit fringe fanfiction) for a class and my teacher says this is one of the only assignments she's ever read that made her smile. It's not a very smile-y work, I suppose, but I thought I'd put it out here anyway.

    All of the quotes come from the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass except for the last one (the one about the universal definition of a slave), Lose Your Mother by Saidiya Hartman.

    Summary

    The picturesque village of Buell, Maine is one of the last in the United States to continue the tradition of the “harvest” or “prosperity” lottery. Its residents insist the lottery makes them stronger, even as condemnation from outsiders grows.
