This was a good short story set in a very uncomfortable future world. Rainbow Smith, a gangland murderer from the Bronx, is condemned to death. Ok, that happens. The difference in this future scenario is that people can compete on a game show for the 'privilege' of being his executioner.I found the final scene particularly powerful as it replayed side by side, the scenes from the murder Smith had committed together with the winner's antics to produce the power needed for the death by electrocution. Macabre but nicely done
