The television turned on and everyone hushed. I knew it was an important moment. In the room with me were Mommy, Prim, Rory, Vick, and Mrs. Everdeen. I jumped on Mommy's lap. "What's happening?" I asked.
She shushed me, her face pale and drawn. I didn't like this place. They called it District 13. All my friends always told me there's no such thing. Then one day the world lit on fire. Gale said it was all going to be okay. But he left, and ever since nothing's been okay.
The blue man on the screen started talking really fast about something. All the adults weren't really listening, and Prim was doing her best not to be worried. Then the blue man slowed his talking down.
He said something confusing, then something about rebel attacks. "Are we the rebel attacks?" I asked.
"We are, Posy," Mommy answered. The blue man said something about casualties. What are casualties? I was about to ask, when the screen cut to a destroyed building. Another man, this time green, started talking.
"Yes, we've gotten reports that the following rebels are dead: Katniss Everdeen, Gale Hawthorne, Finnick Odair, Peeta Mellark, James Boggs, Miles Homes, Seena Leeg, Hayla Leeg, and Justin Mitchell."
My world came crashing down.
