When Life Became a Game

by cindella204

"For me, life had become a game. A game to survive…" When there are no volunteers in District 4 for the first time in years, Finnick Odair finds himself in the arena at the age of 14. Will a well constructed façade and an unexpected ally keep him alive?

38. Epilogue

DISCLAIMER:

There are several concepts, characters, and real life things that I use and/or mention in this chapter that I don't own. These include but are not limited to the Hunger Games and Finnick Odair.

EPILOGUE

Things are different now. I absolutely hate living in the public eye, but I've learned how to play the game right. Spread the wealth by buying things I have no use for, move forward one space. Flirt with second ed kids at the beach, move forward four spaces. Talk about STORM as much as possible with kids to get an extra turn, but don't bring it up with adults or else you lose one. Don't talk about the Capitol much unless you're North Side kids. No one likes them.

It's taken awhile, but with good strategy I've pretty much figured it out.

After all, life's just a game.

...

A/N: And that's the end. This story's finished. I don't even think I know what that means yet. For a year and eleven months (exactly) this has been the number one writing project in my life, and now it's...done. Thank you to all those who have supported me on this amazing journey. Review count ends at 19:00 US Eastern Time on 30 March. That day I will be posting another chapter with my acknowledgments and a preview of the sequel. The prologue and first chapter of the sequel will be posted as a new story on 23 April. I will probably post a self-destructing A/N to this story on that day so that those subscribed to this story get notified when it goes up.

Thanks for everything!
