Denial
Once the fire dies down, I slide back to the stable earth and make a bed among the tree roots. I don't want to watch the death list. I do not want to see there innocent, lifeless eyes being projected onto the night sky. I don't want to relive the memory of each of their deaths, since I was forced to witness each one of them. I don't comprehend when a canon goes off again, a total of four extra times. I don't want to know why, how, or who either. I force myself to sleep before I even hear the haunting and terrible Capitol anthem.
