A/n: Following the structure of Sponsors, there will be twenty-four oneshots in total, in boy-girl order. I have included a description of the sponsor for those who have forgotten or haven't read Sponsors. Credit goes to healer96 and September Sorrows for the idea. Updates will be one a day (possibly twice if i run out of time) Thank you for the kind reviews and by all means, feel free to criticise. Enjoy!
21) Thresh Jonasson – District Eleven (Boy)
Sponsor – a man who feels Thresh Jonasson should never have been taken from the fields of District Eleven
It's a good thing this lad is strong because he is not very clever. Yes, he's been smart enough to get through the Games so far but he just let his opponent go! He's created more problems for himself! The only good thing is that he had the presence of mind to kill the girl from District 2.
Generally, though, he's doing well. There have been moments when I thought he would fail but, overall, he has been worth my money. Of course, the money is unimportant compared to what is at stake here. Compared to what needs to happen: him going back and continuing his work.
He's gotten hold of the District 2 pack and has run away from the feast. The girl he let go has gone back to her boyfriend. They look like they haven't done a decent day's work in their life. The boy from Two is running into the field. He would have been of use in District Eleven himself. But he's too focused on killing.
Thresh has actually managed to keep the boy running for a day or so now but, eventually, he catches up with Thresh. It's surprising but the boy from Two is upset about something. Thresh is just quiet. They're in the field.
Two advantages, then, for Thresh Jonasson: the other lad will not be able to think straight and they are in Thresh's territory. I can almost see Thresh winning these Games now. My investment will not go to waste.
The two lads fight. It's an impressive fight and I'm sure all the usual fools of the city will be gasping and clutching each other as it goes on but all I'm focused on is whether Thresh is alive. He better be. I'm not ready to let this country fall to idiocy.
I swear loudly as the other boy disarms Thresh and runs him through. At the same time, my son shouts loudly, talking to his friend on the phone about what an 'awesome' fight that was. He doesn't understand. All he saw was what the Capitol wanted him to see and feel. But I know what's happened.
This country has gone to the dogs.
