Day of the Choosing is a horror short story by Lily Alexander.In an unnamed city in the distant future, a ritual commences every ten years to determine who is worthy to remain in the city, or be exiled to an unknown fate. One man living with his wife and daughter attends the ritual with the other city inhabitants, fearful of what may happen to his family if they aren't chosen.

Death of a Child: Many of the children in the city aren't chosen. Just like the adults, they're fed to All the Rest.

Downer Ending: As befitting a Dystopian Cosmic Horror Story. The protagonist isn't chosen, and he along with thousands of other innocents are fed to All the Rest. It's also made clear that All the Rest will continue the ritual until it has devoured the entire planet, just as it has done to other planets and will do to many other planets.

Cosmic Horror Story: The story centers around a city where the people are at the mercy of a sadistic Eldritch Abomination that has taken over the entire planet and absorbs the people into itself, forcing them to have nightmares for all eternity, and the protagonist becomes one of those unlucky souls by the end.

Big Bad: All the Rest is the horrific Eldritch Abomination that is behind the ritual, and uses said ritual to feast upon innocents each decade, including the protagonist.

And I Must Scream: Those not Chosen are fed to All the Rest and absorbed into its flesh, and kept just sentient enough to be assaulted with memories of the millions of past victims.
