Welcome back! We still have plenty of open spots, so keep submitting! I only have three tributes so far.
Anyways, here is another chapter! This bit highlights what life in District 13 is like more than 100 years later and under Capitol rule!
This chapter is in first person, which I rarely use. Anyways, Enjoy!
(DISCLAIMER: This is not a reaping chapter. Those will be much longer and won't start until I have the entire pool of tributes. Lacto is just a random D13 resident who I'm using to give an explanation about life in D13)
Okay, now enjoy!
Lacto Ignez, District 13 Resident:
As I rolled out of bed, I looked out the window. The sky was overcast, and I sighed.
It would be another typical day.
I was tired of the monotony of life. Why, of all places, did I have to live in the district that receives the harshest treatment from the Capitol?
District 13 had always been mistreated more than all of the other Districts. Ever since the Revolution, led by Katniss Everdeen, failed, and District 13 was forced under Capitol rule, the Government kept an eye on us at all times.
Those Capitol snakes loved nothing more than to see us suffer. They loved to see us at our worse.
They hated us for almost beating them.
I would love nothing more than to start a revolution and stick it to them. I hate this country. The rich got richer, while the poor got poorer. The evil people had power, and this country was corrupt because of it.
District 13 wasn't the poorest District, but we certainly didn't have a lot. Most of us had almost nothing, but some of the doctors and pharmacists made a good living and lived in nice houses. They didn't have to worry about their next meal.
I lived with my wife. We were both 30. We had no children, because we don't want to bring a child into this world when we know we would never have the funds to properly care for an innocent child.
Both me and my wife, Jelah, had jobs in a rundown store that sold general necessities for the poorer people in the District. We didn't make much, but it was something. Unemployment was high in our district.
I got ready and left the house, without eating breakfast. I stepped out into the streets of District 13. District 13 was still partially underground, but most of the district was now above ground. In our neighborhood, the houses, if you could even call them that, were very rustic. The shacks we lived weren't much, but it was something.
I walked down the crowded and dirty street toward the store, hoping that one day, things could be different. Maybe one day, we would have full stomachs, clean streets, freedom, and the children of our country wouldn't have to worry about being reaped into the dreaded games.
