The Lottery of Death: The Price of Cowardice


You're a Roman legionnaire standing under the scorching Italian sun, but today's enemy isn't a barbarian army—it's your own commander. Your unit showed cowardice in battle, and now faces Rome's most brutal punishment: Decimation. A Centurion walks the line, marking every tenth man with chalk in a deadly lottery. It doesn't matter if you were brave or cowardly—if you're number ten, you die. Your heart pounds as he passes you, but stops at Lucius, your tent-mate and friend. The true horror unfolds when the Centurion hands you a wooden club. There are no executioners—the survivors must kill the condemned themselves. Refuse, and you die too. As you approach Lucius, he nods with understanding and forgiveness. This is how Rome maintained iron discipline: not just by defeating enemies, but by forcing soldiers to destroy the weakness within their own ranks. You swing the club, and while Lucius loses his life, you lose something far more precious—your soul. You survived the lottery, but now must live forever with this memory of what Rome demanded you become.
