"Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the 50th hungergames."

The voice comes from the sky.

My heart beats so fast I can barely hear anything. I am in the middle of a sweet-smelling green meadow. It is breathtaking, the skies are azure blue, with big fluffy clouds. I try to focus on what is going on. If I were to step off my plate right now, I would explode. I think about doing it for a second, to avoid killing people. I don't want to kill anyone, really.

I see the countdown, and it's at 32 seconds. I really need to prepare myself. At least I put a little fat on my bones back at the capital.

I can't think. I'm not a fast runner. I'm probably the weakest one here. I look around the circle that surrounds the cornucopia, and see bony kids, and muscular taller kids.

I position myself to run.

14, 13, 12, 11

My mind goes blank. I turn to Haymitch, and he reassures me with a smile. We aren't friends, but we are from the same district, so that's good enough.

4,3,2,1

I run. I grab the nearest, pack. It's medium-sized, and olive green. I feel something crash onto me. A body. He's dead by the looks of it. I push the body off of me and The blood gets all over my shirt. Someone runs towards me with an axe. The girl with the axe (probably a career) sees someone else trying to throw a knife at her, and she turns her attention away from me. I run faster, my lungs start to burn. I run towards the woods. It's far, but it's a good bet, I run along the long meadow. I see a snow-capped mountain on the other side, I consider running there, because it's so warm in the meadow. But the woods are a safer bet, it has trees to conceal me. I see the career pack running toward the mountain. Good, they're far away from me.

I run deep into the forest, until I can't run any more. I set myself on a fallen tree. I look around. There's flowers I've never seen before. Out of curiosity, I pluck one to smell it. My nose starts to blister, and I throw the flower back on the ground, and see my hand has blisters too. What kind of arena is this?

Ooh! I forgot to see what was in my pack. I find a water bottle, a knife, a pack of beef jerky, and some dried fruit. I'll save that for later.

I decide that the most important thing for now is water. I get back up and look for a stream. I can't get any water from a lake, because I don't have any water purifier. I walk for what seems miles until I feel mud. I look around, it seems that no one else has found my stream. I get my bottle, and put it in the stream until it is filled up. I put the bottle to my lips.

Wait, this water has a weird smell. I instantly dump It out, it's probably poisoned. I look up at the sky. The clouds are big and puffy, so it might rain soon. I find a tree, and try to climb it. All of the branches are pretty skinny. *snap* I fall to the ground. I wasn't too far up so I didn't get that big of a scrape.

This arena is terrible. The water is poisoned, the flowers burn your skin, and you can't climb the trees to get away from other tributes.

I know I'm not gonna last long.
