A Song with Thorns
The Escort
Today I met the most obnoxious girl. A Capitol snob from top to bottom. She's actually training to become an escort. She kept droning on about how most of the current escorts weren't fit for camera anymore. Then she decided to use the District 12 escort as an example.
Who the hell does she think she is? Our escort for 12 may be old, but he's one of the few I actually like. He's always ready with a nice big fake smile for the camera. And he never complains. Even though, off-camera he's made it absolutely clear that this isn't the sort of work he ever wanted for himself.
Seriously, what kind of imbecile chooses to be an escort? Who in their right mind wants to be the person, who draws the names of all those unfortunate children raised for slaughter? I'll tell you who.
