President Cyrus stands at his podium, card in hand. He waves at the cameras, excited to announce this years Quarter Quell.
Not only is this his tenth Hunger Games as president, it's his very first quarter quell. He was only a child during the 50th Hunger Games, but remembers it was an exciting time for Capitol citizens. He only hopes this year is better than the two previous Quells.
"Thank you, citizens, for joining me tonight for the reading of the cards. Today, we honor our third Quarter Quell." He smiles as he opens the envelope.
"On the 75th anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that even the strongest cannot overcome the power of the Capitol the male and female tributes will be reaped from the existing pool of Victors in each district." Gasps and applause fill the audience. The gasps of the audience are of excitement, while the gasps in the districts are filled with horror.
"Thank you." President Cyrus waves goodbye as the cameras fade to black.
I'm starting a new SYOT! The rules and form are on my profile. May the odds be ever in your favor :)
