The Games

24 in

1 out

23 innocent lives

forever erased from existence.

It could be anyone.

A brother

A sister

A friend

A parent

A child

No one is left unaffected.

The games are played for viewing

For enjoyment

For a warning

For a punishment

A punishment for something that happened long before these children were even alive

A punishment for something these 24 children had no control over

Yet they are in the arena

Fighting for their lives.

Children killing children

The games are played to put out the sparks of a rebellion

To leave the country in ashes

In smoldering coals

That are never allowed to flare.

The games don't just take lives

The take families

They take friends

They take lovers away from each other without a goodbye

Without a parting kiss

They don't just take your life

The games take everything that you are.

Alright so that was my first Hunger Games Fic. I hope you liked it. If you did please review, those make my day.

All mistakes are mine and The Hunger Games idea doesn't belong to me (sadly)

I am sooooo excited for the movie! I hope it is as good as the book!

Thanks for reading :)
