Here's an excerpt from the story 'The Job Lottery':
"In the vast, rectangular hall, a banner hanging from the ceiling
reads, EnCorp Wishes You a Good Lottery – Seize the Moment! Fancy kidding
myself I’m in control. Dad, who grew up in the time before EnCorp, can’t
get his head round the Lottery. Mind you, from what I’ve read, having a
choice of work back then wasn’t all it was cracked up to be either, at least
not for plebs like us.
My gut churns as I walk across the hall. EnCorp changes the way
the Lottery is done each year, supposedly making it ‘fun’ – last year we
chased numbered guinea pigs, and two years ago we had to search for coloured
ping-pong balls in a mountain of sand. This year a huge yellow paddling-pool
of water stands at the hall’s centre; on the surface are thousands of plastic
ducks – red, blue, green, yellow, pink, and white ones. I grab a butterfly
net from a basket that contains dozens of them, and head straight to the
poolside. People are snatching frantically at the ducks with the nets, while
mean-eyed security guards with batons watch over proceedings.
A gaunt man with bloodshot eyes hurls his net into the pool in
frustration. “This is ridiculous,” he shouts. He is quickly bundled away
by security guards to a Public Penance Trampoline. A dozen trampolines
are in the hall, all of them in use. Last year Ella had to bounce for telling
a security guard where to shove the Lottery. She finds it hard to keep her
mouth shut – that’s the difference between us.
One woman bouncing on a Public Penance Trampoline wears a
blue cassock which billows and shrinks like a swimming jellyfish as she
goes up and down. She speaks through a loud-hailer. “We’re not wor-
thy.” Bounce. “Need to better ourselves.” Bounce. “Work hard.” Bounce.
“Work sets us free.” Bounce."
