It was quick, so effortlessly quick. I fell to the floor as the sharp object became lodged in my back. The cause of my death is a guess to me. The weapon in my back could be anything, most likely though a knife and I've only seen one person in training throw a knife that well.

As I fell in my last few movements I could see the girl from 12 who I just tried to grab the orange backpack off scramble to her feet and run away. She didn't make it far though before a knife came whizzing through the air and became lodged in the backpack. This only confirmed who I believed was the cause of my death. Clove, the brutal career from district 2.

In the moments that followed my mind went blurry and eventually everything went black. I had failed. I had died in the hunger games. And not just that I had died first. I had failed my family, my district, myself.

It was never going to be me who won the games though; after all I was just a small boy from district 9 who is incapable of using any weapon I can get my hands on. I always knew I would die in the arena, I guess I had just hoped that I wouldn't be the first.

Oh well I think as I take my last breathes maybe it won't be too bad, whether the afterlife is true or not it can't be any worse than where I am now. With one last look at the world surrounding me I close my eyes and drift into a sleep. The last sleep I will ever have. A sleep I will never wake from.

My name is Cortez Taran. I was in the 74th annual hunger games and I was the first to die in those games.

Please review and tell me what you thought of the first death. Also I would appreciate it if you guys could review and tell me which deaths in the 74th Hunger Games you would like to read. Oh and I know this is short but the rest should be longer than this.
