I DON'T own The Hunger Games! …..not in any shape or form….THIS IS CLEARLY MY IMAGINATION RUNNING WILD LIKE A HOTWIRED CHEWBAKA ON ICE
Prologue
It's that time of the year again, The Hunger Games. We all stand in neat rows with our best Sunday clothes on. Every child is nervous, THIS IS SUICIDE. I see my cousin, Eloisa Gulden standing at the far end of the row. She is my best friend. We grew up together. We said if any of us got chosen¸ we will not stand down a fight, we must protect ourselves.
"Welcome, welcome. It's that time again. The time we choose one brave young girl and boy to make us proud in the annual 51th Hunger Games." Say Rosaline, our districts spokes person
No-one applauds her.
"Let's get right to it then, shall we?" She walks over to the bowl containing all the girls' names.
"Eloisa Gulden" She says with excitement
My Heart sinks to my shoes.
"Come on up here, Eloisa…"
She walks to the stage. I can see she is fighting tears.
"now for the boys, let's see here"…"Cray Eckman"
Now my hearts even lower than the floor because …..Cray is my name! I walk over to the stage also trying to fight tears. I go stand next to Eloisa.
"There you have it, Eloisa Gulden and Cray Eckman will be fighting for District 12!"
The people start leaving and Eloisa and I are escorted to the Justice Building By two Peacekeepers. Now for the hardest part, the goodbyes to our family.
Saying goodbye was hard, but we managed. Eloisa and I are strong…..
At the train station our District wished us luck and we departed on our journey. The train ride was awkward but I and Eloisa chatted like nothing is going to happen. Its then when I realized, IM FIGHTING AGAINST MY COUSIN!
