Entry 1

Marcia Sanders was washing dishes in the kitchen, as her son burst through the front door in tears. She knew instantly what the commotion was about.

"Oh, honey! Did that Jimmy boy make fun of you again?" she asked, running to him and wiping his tears.

"Y-y-yes. He m-made fun of m-my of my..."

"Joey, don't let anyone make fun of your stutter, no one is perfect. I'm sure that Jimmy Spadia has some problems too that he doesn't tell anyone. C'mon, I made chocolate chip cookies. They're in the living room. After you do your homework you can go out and play."

He took off his backpack and went into the livingroom as his mother went back to washing dishes. Marcia loved her son more than anything. He was all she had. Being a single mother with twelve-hour workdays, she had great difficulty raising a child. Marcia tucked a stray strand of her soft blonde hair behind her ear and stacked the last dish. It was 4:13pm and she had to be to work in less than twenty minutes. Was getting pregnant at fifteen part of her plan? No. Nothing good had come out of that two minutes of pleasure. Except Joey.

"Alright, kiddo. I gotta go to work. The number's on the fridge. Have whatever for dinner. And don't go to bed too late. Love ya," she kissed him on the cheek, and was out the door.

Joey diligently finished his homework and went outside. Some of the boys in the neighborhood were already out riding their bikes so Joey joined them.

"Hey Joey, guess what I got in the mail," said Tim Foster in a braggy tone.

"I don't know. W-what?"

"Check this out," he handed Joey a folded letter. Joey flattened it out and read it to himself:

29th Annual Ritnerville Youngster Marathon

To the parent(s)/guardian(s) of Timothy Foster,

Congratulations! Your child has been chosen to be among the two hundred children picked at random on January 24, 2189, to take part in Ritnerville's 29th Annual Youngster Marathon. You shall consider it an honor to have your child in our marathon. The event takes place on March 1st at 3 o'clock pm at the town track in front of Ritner Tower. Any questions, feel free to visit the Ritner Estate on 24 Providence Street.

Memorial Service will be held the next day, Sunday the 2nd at 1 o'clock pm.

Your child's number for the marathon is sixty-seven(67) which is enclosed. Good luck!

Signed,
Jasper Williams
Vice President, Ritnerville

Joey refolded the letter.

"W-whoa that's so c-cool," he said.

"I know," said Tim, "look at this, it's my number," he held up a large sticker with the number sixty-seven in black digits. They boys gathered around Tim congratulating him.

"Man, you're so lucky, Tim. I wish I was in that marathon," said a neighborhood kid, Toby Simmons. The rest nodded in agreement.

"Well, my dad said that the letters are still being sent and tomorrow's the last day until all two-hundred kids get their stickers. Maybe one of you guys will get a letter and we can run together!" said Tim, exciting his friends' hopes.

After another two hours of hanging around with his friends, Joey went back home. He made himself macaroni and cheese to go along with a glass of milk, his favorite meal. He finished his meal, watched some television, and went to sleep, with hopes of getting that coveted letter tomorrow.

At midnight Marcia got home from work, peeked in on her beautiful little boy dreaming, and went to sleep also, after a long day.

*****

Recess. It was usually every little boy's favorite time of the day, but for eight-year-old Joey Sanders, it was forty-five minutes of avoiding Jimmy Spadia. He hated Jimmy and Jimmy hated him. Joey had never done anything to offend him and he had never even really talked to him before, but Jimmy still persisted on incessantly teasing Joey because of his stutter.

"Hey, Sanders! How many times did you fuck your mom last night?"

"Sh-shut up. G-go aw-away, Jimmy."

"Sh-sh-sh-shut-shut-shut u-up!! G-g-g-g-go aw-aw-aw-away, J-J-J-Jim-Jimmy!!" mocked the 150 pound sixth grader. His cronies laughed with him.

Joey turned around and started walking away.

"Where you going, faggot? I wanna talk to you."

Joey looked back and saw that Jimmy and his buddies were running towards him. He ran as fast as he could towards the jungle gym. He ran and ran, through every square yard of the playground, but his enemies refused to tire. Without any other choice, he ran off of school property and into the woods. Jimmy was the only one left chasing him now. Joey sprinted his heart out through the woods for as long as he could.

Curiosity overcame him so he took a glance back. No one was there and probably hadn't been there for a while. This short loss of attention caused Joey to not look where he was going, and his right foot was caught under a raised tree root. His body rotated, as he tried to break his fall, and twisted his foot in the wrong direction. He screamed.

Marcia opened the mailbox on 49 River Street to see just one letter. She tore it open:

"Dear parent(s)/guardian(s) of Joseph Sanders,..."

*****

"Hello, Mr. President. My name is Marcia Sanders."

"Nice to meet you Miss Sanders. What is it that I can help you with?"

"It's about the Marathon. I want to take my son out of your competition, please."

"I'm sorry, but that's not possible. The two-hundred children picked are the two-hundred children who are going to be in the event. I cannot change it. I'm sorry Miss Sanders."

"Please, you don't understand. He sprained his ankle badly and he's on crutches. He can't run. There's no way he's going to finish the race."

Ritner smiled, "Miss Sanders, it'll be all the more interesting if your boy is disabled. I wouldn't care if you came in here and told me he was a fucking oblong with no arms or legs, he'd still roll as far as he could to that finish line. Have a nice day. Guards," Ritner's wrinkly face was contorted into a somewhat sadistic smile.

"No! Please President Ritner, don't make my little boy run that race! He's all I have!" she fought away from the guards and ran up to Ritner's desk, "What do you want? My house?"

He burst out laughing, "Miss Sanders I own this town. If I wanted your house I'd just take it if I wanted it. Be gone."

The guards again had Marcia by the arms, but she was kicking and screaming and again she got away from their grasp, "Do you want sex? I'll give you sex. All the sex you want if you take my Joey out of your race."

Albert Ritner stood to his feet, walked around his desk and looked Marcia over from head to toe.

"No thanks. I don't find poor blonde whores attractive. Guards take care of this worthless woman," he said and walked back behind his desk and sat down. Two guards took their clubs from their belts.

"No! Please I'll give you anything! I beg of you, take my son out of the Marathon!," she screamed, as one of the guards struck her in the face with his club.

Again Ritner laughed, "You have nothing to give that I want. The Marathon is tomorrow and your boy will run it, crippled or not. You should consider it an honor. The greatest honor."

"Please," another club struck her in the side of the head, "have mercy..."

*****

Joey spent that night at the Ritner Estate, and the next day he was escorted to the big race.

"W-w-where's my Mom?" he asked occasionally, always getting a vague response from a guard.

He talked to some of the kids he knew that had been chosen also to compete. Tim Foster was there, and so was Jeremy Hansel and Mike Gardener. Joey observed the starting line. The race itself wasn't even a 'marathon' really. It was a five-hundred yard dash on a straight track, and the citizens of Ritnerville lined both sides of the lines cheering and screaming. All the racers were boys and girls between the ages of seven and fourteen, just like it had been for the twenty-eight years before that this annual custom had gone on.

"How you gonna run with them crutches?" asked Tim.

"I d-don't know. I'll just h-have to t-try my h-hardest," stammered Joey, racer number 191. He scanned the crowd for a few seconds but didn't see his mother.

The bell rang. It was time to line up.

The three boys said good luck to each other, and went to line up in their pre-ordained spots. There were ten rows of twenty, and the ground had a painted number where each racer was supposed to start. Joey hobbled to the third row, seventh child over, and stood on number 191. Again, he tried to find his mother in the crowd but to no avail. He looked to the clock of Ritner Tower. It read 2:58:39 in digits. Less than two minutes before the bell would go off for the second time.

Joey readied himself. He tied his only shoe, and made sure his crutches had no loose bolts.

The other children also prepared by stretching their legs and other warm-up techniques such as jumping jacks and toe touching.

President Ritner sat in his decorated throne at the finish line, and ripped open a bag of popcorn.

The crowd stared at the Tower in anticipation. They started to count down from 10...9...8....

The sniper readied himself, laying on the top of the Tower, and lit a cigarette.

3...2...1.... RING

The children sprinted, and Joey hobbled. There were cracks in the air as some ended the race early. Kids ran past Joey, as he kept the rhythm of both crutches in front, then alternating with his good left foot. He said it to himself as he went, "Crutches, f-foot, c-crutches, foot, p-p-pull, step, pull, s-step," and kept his focus ahead towards Ritner Tower. The boy in front of him met his doom early on, and Joey had to maneuver over his body.

The crowd reacted to every casualty.

"Why do you do this?" asked Jasper Williams, the Vice President.

President Ritner seemed to ignore him at first, but then looked him straight in the eye, "My father began this Marathon twenty-nine years ago. I once asked him that very same question when I was a young man, and old enough to see that what was going on was corrupt," he looked back to the track, "and he said something to me that made perfect sense. You could allow Satan himself to rampage through the neighborhoods for one minute a week, killing as many people as he wanted. Of course there would be an uproar at first and everyone would wonder the reasoning, but soon, if it continued long enough, people would look past it and it wouldn't be questioned. It would be accepted as any other ritual."

"That may be true, but eventually Satan would kill every single person if the 'ritual' goes on for an extended amount of time. Don't you see that?"

Ritner ate some popcorn, laughed once more, and said, "True, very true. But it won't happen immediately, Williams. There is going to be a day when the citizens of my town become intelligent and see that some of my policies and laws are a little bit..."

"Tainted?"

"From your point of view, yes. Ritnerville won't last forever, that's a fact, but I'm trying to make sure that those people do not get smart as long as I'm alive," finished Ritner. Jasper walked away, not wanting to see the carnage on the track.

Joey was now the farthest behind the rest.

"C-crutch, f-foot, pull, s-step," he said, hobbling as fast as possible on his crutches. The crowd around him became irrelevant. All he saw was the Tower ahead of him.

A heat surged through his body, and he knew that it was his time. He felt the scope on him. He knew that the sniper determined that it was Joey's time to finish the race next.

Two bullets flew through his chest and out his back.

When it was over, and the track was cleared, the officials counted that 124 out of the starting 200 children finished it.

The Memorial Service was held the next day. People cried over their lost children, but no one questioned why the Marathon had to happen, just like every year.

Marcia Sanders wasn't there to be at her son's grave.

Entry 2

As I ran my fingers down her spine, I thought, hmm, "I wonder if she would let me eat a bowl of soup out of her ass?"

There is almost nothing that Sandy wouldn't let me do now; since I found out that she had a threesome in college. An angel by the truest meaning she has always been, treating me better than one so perverse should ever deserve. When I first discovered this debacle, I was shocked, and quite honestly, terribly envious. To think, I almost dumped this girl over it. I mean, why didn't I have all the crazy tales of debauchery? How could my innocent Sandy, who during our first time made me hold her hand and whisper sweet nothings in her ear, fuck two people at once? That's right, a hard-core Chinese-fingertrap style gangbang. It drove me nuts, then wild, and then nuts again.

Holding my smashed ego in her hand, she literally begged me to reconsider my rash motions to walk away and find a girl who liked to take on only one dinger at a time. She promised to make it up, any way she could. She gave me the Wonka ticket on her ass. I couldn't say no.

Now, I consider myself to be somewhat creative, and enjoy the odd experimental trip, but let me tell you, dear reader, I went Zappa on this chick. Sweet and innocent looking she was, until I had her alone. Her protests were half-assed at best, and sharply muted by my three fingers held high.

It has been about six months and I have done everything I could possibly imagine with my dear Sandy. From the reverse jackhammer to eating Glosettes' raisins from her fillet, I've been there. She will even sit there while I prepare the blue cheese for the bi-evening tea bag. I must say, she certainly has been a good sport.

Despite the fact that I was going to town on this chick, it didn't make up for the image in my mind of her packing kosher sausage all around the fat slab factory. I was being a straight jerk, and my sex was becoming angry sex. It didn't take too long for Sandy to realize this, and gave me the ultimate ultimatum: "Here's the score. You've been into some weird shit for far too long with me, and I'm sick of it. As much as I love you I cannot have you punish me with adventurous sex any longer. Either you find us a third party to settle the score and get all of this over with, or just fuck off."

All I could muster was a "Whoa".

A dominatrix as long as she could ever remember, Donna was more than willing to join any couple for a romp. My friend Al knew her from the Manx Club, where she works the door. I had seen her before and thought that she was pretty hot, and hell, Sandy wanted to get my pride in check, so I made that phone call. Done deal.

Bad idea. Donna was more into girls than guys, and I didn't find that shit out until she had me laced to her bedpost. I, being utterly incapacitated, was left to hear Donna slurping and tugging at an exuberant Sandy. I couldn't even see the filthy plunging going on, so I raised protest. This is where my pride took the damn 180. I was forced to beg... to simply watch! Shit, at least I got to see some girl on girl action.

At the end of the evening, I tucked my smurf-balls back in their frilly mesh-sack and whimpered like a schoolmarm. Needless to say, my adventure with 'Donna', or as I call her, "Fish Market No. 1", dashed all fleeting hopes and dreams I had with Sandy. Sandy was better at getting laid, getting chicks, and even better than me at being a guy.

Upon reflection, I probably should have merely continued on with that dirty, dirty... bowl of soup.

"Nothing is original. Nothing has yet to be written or thought of. "

WHAT? ...sounds like a LAME ASS excuse from someone who is a plagiarist.

Thank you. Not only are you a plagiarist, you've proven that you're an idiot too. (But I already knew that because you misjudged and insulted the intelligence of a lot of the people on this site by thinking they wouldn't notice you are a plagiarist, and I find that extremely irritating.)

BTW, ever heard the line "10,000 people can't be wrong?"

Read through this thread a few more times, and keep on trying to deny that you're a plagiarist. Plagiarist. Pull your head out of your ass and at least make the attempt to save some face by admitting you made a mistake.

Loren, what I said was sarcasm in case you didn't catch it. I didn't start writing this thinking "Hey I'm going to rip off The Lottery" I wrote it intending to use the theme of the corruption of ideals and government. The Lottery and apparently A Long Walk have been based on that similar theme and so have probably a dozen others. It's no different than someone writing a story about a monster killing people in the woods or lovers divided by cheating followed by suicide. Nothing is original. Nothing has yet to be written or thought of. Call me a plagiarist all you want. "Fine I will. Plagiarist!"

I don't know what to do.
The 2nd entry sucked, but the 1st one was a blatant fucking ripoff of Richard Bachman/Stephen King's "The Long Walk".
BLATANT

(unless of course it wasn't read by the author)...
so I'm torn, but my curiousity as to whether or not anyone else noticed this has forced me to choose between the two. 2nd it is, I suppose.

"Numerous people have said that the plot of "The Long Walk" by Stephen King is identical to this shit I wrote. Pretty interesting especially since I've never even read it to copy it. Don't believe me? I don't care. If I were to purposefully steal an entire story and shrink it down, don't you think I'd imagine beforehand that someone would pick it up?"

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, plagiarist. Just because you didn't read that one in particular doesn't mean you didn't copy it from "The Lottery."
Face it, you're busted. If I were you, I'd withdraw and hang my head in shame. Plagiarist.
--------
"I recently read the short stories "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson, as people have stated, and "The Sniper" by Liam O'Flaherty. "

Gee. We're SHOCKED. Plagiarist. I read the long walk 20 years ago, and STILL remember the details. You're admitting you read this plot line "recently" - another nail in the coffin of plagiarism.
--------
"I was interested in both, so why not mix the themes very loosely and make a story good enough to get past round one?"

Why not? Because it's plagiarism. You unimaginative tool.
This isn't a high school book report, it's a writing contest. Original material, thanks very little. Plagiarist.
--------
"but everything is derived from something else even if only minimally."

That may be true, and as an artist I get ideas from all over the place, but I don't TRACE other people's work, nor do I copy paintings, nor do I use the exact same subject matter. This was HARDLY MINIMAL.
--------
"Most fictional stories, if not all of them on this site have been inspired by another work, I guarantee it. Some just do a better job of concealing it than others. "

Same point as before. And thanks for admitting that you did not, in fact, conceal it. Plagiarist.
--------
"Call it plagiarism if you want,"

Thanks. I will. Plagiarist.

Is my entry shit? Some think so, others don't. I would define it as well below average but good enough to get past the first round.

Is it plagiarized? Sure, why not. Recycling the themes of two short stories that were the loose inspirations for this could be defined as plagiarism I assume.

Disqualify me if you feel it's necessary.

PLAGERISM!

I'm forced to vote for entry #2 because #1 is a piss-poor rip-off of 'The Long Walk,' by Stephen King, writing as Richard Bachman. The original story is EXCELLENT. Seek it out and read it. Entry #1 steals that idea and turns it to utter shit.

Un-fucking-believeable.

I vote to disqualify author 1.

I fucking loathe lying, cheating bastards.

Even if their claim is "I never read it" - ? I call BULLSHIT. Even if it was a small memory in the far back of the writers' mind, they had to KNOW deep inside that it wasn't their original idea. What a crock of crap. Shame on you.

Entry 1 was interesting, the author has read "The Long Walk" I see. Some points for originality still, I especially liked the scene between the president and the vice president.

Some of the writing was a little rough though. The scene with Marcia Sanders begging was too painfully bad to read, and it took away from the story. But I understand how it goes. You have an idea and you have to make it fit with the title. But in reading the begging scene it seemed too poorly scripted, too maudlin (love that word)

Also, one thing that stood out and bothered me. "Recess. It was usually every little boy's favorite time of the day, but for eight-year-old Joey Sanders, it was forty-five minutes of avoiding Jimmy Spadia." This line was extremely clunky. For one, his being eight years old should have been revealed when we first meet the character, as well as the "150 pounds". By putting it here you're basically shoving it into our face that he's being bullied. Yeah, we get it, an 8 year old 150 pounder is getting bullied.

Had you put this vital information around when we first met the character we would have remembered it and associated it with the bullying better.

The first one is too much ike Stephen Kings story "The long walk" where the kids race and if you go too slow you get shot ... very similar. And the second one I didn't really like either, but at least it was better than the first.

Entry 1 reminded me of "The Lottery." Very clever and different.

this is a rip off.
I had to read this story in like english 1301.
It's The Lottery, Shirley Jackson.
While the story is not EXACTLY the same - the premise is.

I didn't like either of these. I almost didn't vote.

It's obvious that #1 was trying too hard to up the retarded Ubermadness death count.

The writer of #2 is trying to give the air of being studly, but just comes across as creepy.

Number 1 was loose adaption of Stephen King's 'The Race,' but not poorly written.

Number 2 was forced and choppy.
