So, I got crossed by CU. I respect them, and I have to change this to a story. Ignore the stuff in bold.

Ta-ta for now,

An 8 year old Madge was in her backyard, digging in the ground for fun. She came across 2 yellowed pieces of very, very old paper. She picked it up and carried it to her room, wondering what it said. Even once she was able to read, she was completely clueless. Even when she knew Katniss and Gale and Peeta, she was still clueless. It wasn't until years later, when she was burying her dog in his grave, that she realized what it meant. That was because she came across a certain 3 books and read them. And when Katniss split off with Johanna Mason to go electrify the arena, Madge took her family and cleared out of 12. So you see, this is what started Madge's survival:

You force yourself to like lamb stew because Katniss likes it.

You watch all the cake decor/baker shows because that's what Peeta would watch.

You now love Hot Topic just because they sell HG products.
