I, Finnock O'Dair
Have for the first time in my life, have mixed feelings.
Usually, I am either one way or the other. I'm happy or annoyed and when I'm annoyed… I'm very annoyed.
Well this is the story, there had been an announcement from the capital, which had said.
"This year is to be a quarter quell! For the audience this will be even more entertaining than any other year...And for the families of the tributes it will be hell... all over again."
The announcer had been shouting in a very over the top way. Up until he said about our families and when he said "again" he barely even said it, he basically mumbled it but… I heard him.
And boy did I want to punch his face in so much, right now, for saying those words.
He started going on about how it would be victors going up against each other and how we all had killing experience and to stay tuned, but my mind was in other places. I couldn't decide whether or not I was happy or worried, because I was excited to see if I was selected as tribute. If I was I would get that rush of adrenalin that I always crave, through my blood system I love, and people would see my survival skills again,
But I was anxious because if I was chosen, then I would have to leave Annie and she would get upset and maybe her mental illness would get worse. I couldn't bear it if that happened to her! I could never live with myself knowing that I made my one true love feel isolated from the world.
The question is.
How should I feel about that?
