| 520 | _a"Misrule" by Robert Scott is a science fiction novella published in the early 1960s. The story is set in a dystopian society where the government exercises strict control over its citizens, culminating in a bizarre annual event known as People's Day, where the populace is allowed to express their pent-up frustrations through violence and destruction. The narrative follows Glen Wheatley, a lower-level civil servant, as he navigates the chaotic atmosphere of this day and its implications on personal freedom and societal order. As the events unfold, Glen finds himself amidst a frenzied mob intent on wreaking havoc within the Government House. Alongside his colleague Joan, he grapples with their fear as they seek safety from the oncoming chaos. Their attempts to find shelter are thwarted by the brutality of the People, who resent their subservient roles despite the security provided by the government. The story culminates in a dramatic clash between the characters and the mob, emphasizing the underlying themes of control, rebellion, and the stark contrast between the ruling class and the masses. Ultimately, "Misrule" serves as a thought-provoking exploration of societal stability and the human condition when faced with systemic oppression and chaos.
