Thanks you guys for sticking with me! these are really fun to write! i know most people have done a holiday present like: here's a new chappie for ur holiday present! yay! I don't want to do that. writing is an exchange between the author and the reader. why would anyone write if they don't enjoy it? this is what i love to do. i don't want writing to become something to do for others... when i have an idea of something to write, it's because i would read it and see a lack of it in the world, or, i want to put my own ideas into an already established concept, like with the drabbles. thanks you for joining me in my writing. this is something i share with you. i'm not writing to a billion people, i'm writing to one. each reader takes something different out of writing and reading, and if this chaged you in the slightest way, than i concider it worth it. if not, well, i still love writing, even if it's just for myself.

I hold my breath. I see my little Nell and beautiful Serrina standing brave. This fear of seeing my children taken and murdered is worse than torture. The escort rambles on a bit. I can only watch my children lined up for slaughter. I'm shaking with nerves as the Capitol man takes his time unfolding the slip of paper that will decide the fate of my daughters. I hold my breath.

"Melyn Sybor!" A sigh escapes me at the precise time a wail erupts for the couple standing next to me. My relief quickly turns to guilt… and then empathy.
