This was the original opening I had written for the submission process. I like it and went ahead and edited it a bit so I could re-upload it. I have major writers block right now but am working through to get the next reapings up. Just sit tight :)
Amara
The television screen is dark. Many wonder if their set is broken. Others know better and wait in anticipation. A woman appears on the screen from the dark and introduces herself as Amara Kingley, the Gamemaster.
"Ladies and Gentlemen," she begins, "I am ever so grateful to announce this year's 20th annual hunger games! The arena is almost finished and you know what that means." She smiles and winks at the camera."Yup! The Reapings are coming up! Oh aren't we excited!" she gave a little twirl and giggled. "Now before the reapings begin, all potential tributes are to fill out the flyer that was sent to you. Fill out the form for every potential child you have and send to the capitol!" She flung her arms in the air from pure enjoyment. "Ladies and Gentlemen, the 20th annual hunger games are a go. May the odds be ever in your favor. Until then." And she vanished.
Mothers broke down and cried their hearts out for their children. Fathers just stared at the blank screen in shock. Brother and sisters hugged each other in fear for the reapings that will come soon. No one wants to go but there is no choice. Parents must forfeit their children to the Capitol.
Forms are filled out and sent to the Capitol. Amara Kingley sits and reads them, a smile on her face. "These games are going to be fun." She laughed. The laugh disappeared when she realized there were forms missing. She grew upset and called President Snow.
"President Snow, there are forms missing. All families were told to submit them to the Capitol. Any ideas as to come about this problem?"
"I will take care of it." The man's voice hissed through the phone and with a click he was gone.
