A/N: Anyone remember who this guy is? Review if you do! And review even if you don't, because your reviews mean more to me than money. Seriously.

9. Insanity
It's funny, in a way, how I never noticed that I was losing my mind. It wasn't sudden – I didn't just go off the deep end one day. No, that territory belongs to the weak, and while I've been called many things (insane being right up there with murderous) weak isn't one of them.
The number two adjective on the list of words to describe me is creepy. Yeah, creepy, and it's probably true. I don't introduce myself and say that I am, but so many people use it that it's got to be realistic. The next one is tribute. Betcha saw that one coming. The one right after that is body. If you haven't already guessed, now you know: I'm dead.
The next word is monster. And that – well, all I can say is, don't ask me if it's accurate or not. I've got no clue. If you want to know the answer, take a look at all of those tapes the Capitol's got on my Games. See for yourself. Form your own opinion.
The word after that is freak, which just bugs me. You can guess why. I mean, don't people have better ways to express themselves? Wait – I suppose all of the alternatives are already on this list.
The only one that I actually like is the first one I told you. Insane. Maybe you're wondering, how can you like that word? What normal person would feel comfortable using it for their own self? And that's where you're wrong yet again. I'm not a normal person.
My name is Titus Bolivak. I died in the Sixteenth Hunger Games. And, yes, I am insane.
