Panem Neo-Fallen

by Hyungdae Park

After Katniss Everdeen and her fellow rebels die, President Snow's great-great grandson, Nicholaus Snow, becomes King Nicholaus Snow I of Panem. The first thing he does as a king is destroying District 13. The second is preparing the 76th Hunger Games... NOT a happy ending.

1. Prologue 1

Prologue #1

A game to end all games.

A quell to end every quells.

It all begins with a new ruler. A KING.

And, it will also begin with getting rid of the mockingjays.

District 1

Dad is staring at the TV so intense that I worry the screen will shatter to pieces. I have no idea what this is about. The Games that I learned at history classes? I always dozed of at those classes. No wonder my history grade was so bad.

The lady from the Capitol is wearing a smile which is a bit too wide and looks like a fake.

"Happy, happy, happy Hunger Games! and may the odds EVER be in your favor!" she yells.

"Dad, what EXACTLY is this about? I have to watch my shows." I grumble. Dad says nothing, which is surprising because he always responses to anything I say no matter what the question is.

The lady presses a button in front of her. There is a strange whooshing sound. About ten seconds later, the sound stops. Now, a name is projected on the screen behind the lady.

"Jasper Dent! Jasper Dent, living on 9 Emerald Avenue, District One! Congratulations, you will represent District One with another tribute in the 76th Hunger Games!"

Jasper Dent is my name. I wonder what a tribute means.
