Is it The Lottery by Shirley Jackson?

This is it! Thank you so much!

Also, if I recall, it wasn't very long. It was only a few pages long.

[Please help me identify this piece of literature!]

Hi everyone,

 

I remember reading this piece of literature in 8th grade, that was such a great piece. I'll describe it to the best of my ability.

 

There was a village and a wooden box that people could write wishes on small pieces of paper and slip them in the box. And then, afterwards, I thought someone died or something like that. Also, I don't know if this will help, but I think there was a man named Mr. Sommers or Mr. Summers or something like that.

 

I hope I'm posting this in the correct spot, and I also hope that any of you can help me identify this.

 

Thank you and have a great day.
