Alternate Ending to "The Lottery"

Bill Hutchinson and his wife were the last two people to open their slips of paper. As all the village people's eyes were on the two of them, Bill Hutchinson opened up his slip of paper first, revealing a blank sheet to Tessie Hutchinson. With fear coursing through her body, Tessie Hutchinson took a deep breath and slowly opened the slip, her eye catching sight of part of a dark circle marked by the coal. Knowing her impending future, Tessie Hutchinson took a look around at everyone impatiently waiting to do what they all did every year. Finding the pile of stones that the kids had made before the lottery began, Tessie Hutchinson ran, immediately followed by a mob of villagers carrying stones and chasing after her. After running for what felt like an hour, Mrs. Hutchinson found herself in the middle of the forest, caught up by Old Man Warner, Mr. Summers, Mrs. Dunbar and other men, women, and children each carrying their own stones. Mrs. Hutchinson cried out "It isn't fair, it isn't right" as she got hit by several stones and only darkness remained. 

I chose this alternative ending because I like how it shows some element of fighting back on Tessie's part. When I first read this story, it was somewhat shocking how the plot shifted from a seemingly normal beginning to an end where a village throws stones at one of its people based on random chance. While it was an interesting story, I wasn't too content with the ending, especially in the way that everyone suddenly turned on Tessie Hutchinson and stoned her with no hesitation. While my alternative ending doesn't show the other village people showing remorse (because it seems uncharacteristic of the story's nature), I do like that it shows Tessie's initial resistance of the lottery's deathly consequence.
