Got it! Let's adjust the last panel to depict the moment of the act itself, making it more intense and impactful. Here’s the revised outline: ### Panel 1 **Visual:** A peaceful village scene on a sunny day, with children gathering stones and adults chatting. **Caption:** "In a quiet village, residents gather for the annual lottery, a tradition with an unknown purpose." ### Panel 2 **Visual:** Mr. Summers, holding a black box, addressing the townspeople as they gather with a mixture of excitement and apprehension. **Caption:** "Mr. Summers prepares for the drawing, the atmosphere thick with anticipation and dread." ### Panel 3 **Visual:** Tessie Hutchinson’s face, filled with panic and disbelief, in close-up as she realizes her family has drawn the marked slip. **Caption:** "Tessie arrives late and is horrified to find her family has drawn the short straw." ### Panel 4 **Visual:** A chaotic scene where villagers are throwing stones at Tessie, who is in the center, pleading and frightened, with stones already in flight. **Caption:** "The crowd turns relentless as the horrifying tradition unfolds—Tessie cries out, ‘This is not fair!’ as the stones rain down." This revision captures the intensity and tragedy of the moment while clearly depicting the climactic action. Thank you for your direction!
