The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin
4.0

This story dives into the tough decisions surrounding a perfect city that depends on the suffering of one poor child. However, can a whole city's joy and success be okay if it means a single child has to suffer that much?

Le Guin made the story act like a mirror and encourage others to think about what is right and what is wrong.
