It was a game of chance, with equal odds for everyone. This brilliant idea was the last hope for bringing humanity together again. It had seemed so fantastical when it was first proposed, but over time it had grown to the point it was impossible to ignore. The people wanted it and nothing was going to stop them from being allowed to vote on its destiny. All the small pieces of this puzzle slowly fell into place, leading up to a door opening just far enough for it to be considered a possible reality. Some called it the end of civilization as we knew it, while others claimed civilized people had died long ago. A country divided cannot stand, and a division like the people had never seen spread across every continent. The only thing left that everyone could agree on was that something had to change. This offer of fairness and equality had been given the title of "The Lottery", and the fate of the world came down to one vote.

A misguidedly idealistic high school student founds a club to teach his classmates philosophy; when it becomes a cult, he must change course before the whole school drinks the Kool-Aid. Frank can think of no better way to prove his classmates have no moral compass than to write a manifesto satirically arguing for the virtues of selfishness; when this attempt at shining a light on his classmates' behavior is taken at face value, he creates a club to spread his teachings, hoping his ironies will be more obvious on a grander scale. The authoritarian rule of law he establishes meets little resistance from his club members, even as he wonders privately when they'll have enough and choose a more virtuous path. While Frank earnestly seeks to help his classmates, his methodology proves misguided in practice, and Frank must find where to draw the line before he permanently ruins his beloved high school. But then again, being a cult leader is too much fun to pass up... You Must Remember This adapts the foundation of Catch-22 in a high school setting, applying the same notion of dystopian bureaucracy to lampoon Silicon Valley's competitive spirit and, in these politically charged times, comment on the fragility of our own democracy. CW: minor character death (non-graphic), dark psychological themes (e.g. gaslighting), authoritarian regimes (including references to communism and Nazism) "Amazing, terrible, bourgeois horror" "At first I thought the story was about silicone implants" "I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves the classic American English course reading list or just wants to read something that will make them think."

"But what do you believe?" "I don't know. I don't even know if any of this is even real." I placed my hands over my face in frustration. Was I losing it? Suddenly his hands touched mines and pulled it away from my face. "Throw reason out and just listen to this." He said pointing down to my chest. He put his hand to my cheek, and I closed my eyes feeling the electric shock again pulsating from his hand to my cheek. I opened my eyes, and I knew without a doubt that he had no evil bone in his body. But then that meant that he had to be innocent and that the reports were wrong. "Okay so what do you suggest we do in figuring out how you and your girlfriend got killed if you didn't do it?" "I have a theory..." Before I could even blink, his lips were on mine and I could feel my body going into a frenzy. I felt like I was spinning around and around in a vortex. And then everything turned dark with only the sound of a guitar riff. *************************************** 17-year-old Anya Little must form a somewhat symbiotic relationship with a ghost that haunts the house she currently lives in to find out what happened 30 years ago the night he and his girlfriend, Annie, who turns out to be her doppelganger, died.

"It's not like I couldn't be strong, or anything. The idea of overpowering just terrifies me. Too out of the comfort zone, right?" The MATRIARCHY sees everything: this is where life begins and ends for everyone. For Kaitlyn Brown, this was exactly what she needed. A stockpile of perfect A's, her gaggle of sun-blushed starlettes and her whole focus on her newfound life in the MATRIARCHY. At least, this was what Kaitlyn thought she needed. When she is soon exposed to the agonising underworld of the MATRIARCHY, will she be able to escape her fate? Or will her refusal of the stinging truth lead to a painfully gruelling death?
