00:00June 27th. Village square buzzes. Calm veils unsettling tradition. Amidst the cheerful facade,
00:07Mr. Summers carefully arranges a worn black wooden box, its presence a stark omen. The
00:12idyllic village masks an undercurrent of palpable tension, hinting at the darkness lurking beneath
00:17the surface. In the charged atmosphere of the village square, Mr. Summers' voice cuts through
00:21the air as he calls out family names, each word heightening the villagers' mounting dread. A
00:26ripple of nervous laughter breaks the silence as Bill Hutchinson draws a marked slip from the
00:30ominous black box, sealing his family's fate. A collective gasp echoes as the villagers realize
00:35the grim truth. Tessie Hutchinson cries out in defiance. It isn't fair. You didn't give him
00:40enough time. Tessie clutches the slip, her features twisted in raw terror, as she reveals the black
00:46spot that seals her fate. A collective gasp sweeps through the villagers, their expressions hardening
00:51into grim masks as they close in on Tessie. Even her own son clutches stones, confusion warring
00:56with grim determination, as the first stone strikes Tessie's face. It's not right. It's not fair.
