Chapter 1 - The announcement

Presidents POV

I reach for this year's envelope wondering what it may be. I look to the crowd and open it. I gasp my eyes skimming the page. This can't be. I swallow and read

"As a reminder that the young are as vulnerable this year's tributes will be reaped from the age group 5 - 11" I say. The crowd scream and shout at me. I stand still. I can only imagine the reaction of the districts. I don't want these games to happen.
