One breath into a whole new situation. One beat of a heart. Scared to death. One step into a whole new world.

10.

I'm Tiffany, a 16 year old girl thrown into a situation I never dreamed I would be in.

9.

Roots. Roots, my roots. I was named Tiffany because when I was born my father found a necklace on the ground from before the revolution. He says it was very rare to find and once he saw it he knew my name was Tiffany. I wear that necklace everywhere I go. I still don't know how I snuck it past security today.

8.

I look around me. Darkness. Not a soul in sight. I look up and am forced to squint at the streaming sunlight pouring out.

7.

I am shaken as the ground below my feet begins to float higher and higher. I am drawn to light as the mosquitoes do every night in front of my door. Home. I won't be seeing that place anytime soon. That is if I ever see it again.

6.

My eyes begin to adjust as I see glass cylinders forming a circle around a feast of death.

5.

My mind races forgetting everything I have learned in the past few days. Which way is up? Down? Which way to run? That is if I can.

4.

My heart begins to race faster from a soft ba-dum to a loud and fast drum roll.

3.

Drum roll please.

2.

For my heart is announcing the start of a brand new game.

1.

The 76th Hunger Games have begun.
