The first hint that there is something more going on in the story is when Jackson points out that children are gathering stones. They gathered the smoothest ones they could find. Smooth stones were used in stoning for a more painful, drawn-out death.

In "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson, the falling action occurs after the townspeople draw the marked paper slips from the lottery box. The tension builds as the chosen family is identified, leading to the shocking climax where Tessie Hutchinson is stoned to death by her neighbors. The falling action involves the villagers returning to their everyday lives, seemingly unfazed by the horrific ritual they have just participated in.
