Hello reader!
This is just a very short "short story", this is the thoughts from a winner of The Hunger Games. A winner before Katniss's time, which is why she is calling for help.
Please leave a review, I do need them to get better. But remember to be constructive.
A cry for help
The nightmares will hunt you forever and sometimes I think I'm better off dead. How easy it would have been if I was dead and not alive. Of course my family would be sad, but after a while they would get used to a life without me. A life without a shattered daughter. We might be rich now, food is not an issue, but this is not the life I wished for. A life hunted by people who are no longer here. I can still remember their last minutes in this world, how I wished I could forget everything, but I will never forget. It keeps going on repeat, how they tried to hold on to life, but I could see it slipping out of their hands. I could do nothing, only survive. My mind is in a million pieces and it's impossible to piece it back together. It's so hard, I'm so tired and empty. There is nothing left of me, I'm a grey shadow of the girl that used to be. A girl that slept through the whole night, but now wakes up all the time, screaming in fear because a lost friend decided to visit. A girl that smiled and laughed, now only tears are left. They keep visiting me, telling me their stories again and again, reminding me of their families that had to watch them die a horrible death. It's so unfairly. This is my life now; I have to accept it. I'm no winner, I'm a loser. In the end, we are all losers. But why do we let them do this to us? Why do we keep fighting each other? Someone should start a rebellion, someone much braver and stronger than me, us, since we are all weak and scared. I know someone has to do something, I know that someone has to stand up. But I'm too weak, my legs will never hold my body and the burden that comes with it, I will fall and make the rest fall with me. We need someone without a heart. We need someone who can order people to death, I don't have the heart to do that and a war always leads to deaths. I don't have the heart to stand tall while so many people will suffer. My weak heart has already suffered enough, I have enough haunted memories and I don't need more people to visit me. We need a heartless leader, who we will follow and who we will die for. Since I will die for our leader, I'm willing to sacrifice my life so that people after me can live without a care in the world. I will die and be reunited with my lost friends and to apologize to the lives I took. You have to understand that I'm one of them that see the truth, but I'm also one of them who only sits still and watches. We all have died; we all are out of power. We need someone with a heart attack, someone that thinks the world is worth fighting for. You, who thinks life is worth living, please help us all, because we have given up Please, someone stand up and lead us out of our misery. We don't want to send our siblings and children to death anyone, help us stop this, and help us win for once. We are tired of losing, we just want to win. Watch our children grow up without nightmares and without the fear of being sent to death. I don't want my children to go through what I did, to see all those children's dead faces and have to kill to survive. I don't want to them lose their joy and light in life. I don't want them to hate the world and wish for it to burn. How many cruel people there are here, people who supports this and thinks it fun. How I wish for them to die, just like how my friends died or to be hunted, just like me, forever.
Please someone, start the war, you without a heart, please save us all.
Best regards
A winner
