New Americana: The 79th Hunger Games

by Our Ancient Souls

"Snow should not be in danger. He's run more than a dozen terms in his presidency, and yet—there's a shadow he can never escape from. It is so easy that the kingmaker dies; it is so easy that cities fall. It is so easy how another king rises from the ashes that was left, and drinks to the glory of the old with his caked throat." SYOT Open

1. Prologue

"Vile romance... turned dreams into an empire."

Coriolanus Snow, 87
President of Panem

Being the President of Panem was always an extremely difficult job for me to have. I did not want to be president, but this life was forced onto me by my father Victoronico Snow, who was also the President of Panem until he wasn't. He loved being President, but I don't. I just want to be nice to all of the people in Panem, but I am not allowed. Instead, I have to do the Hunger Games and they commence every year and are very cruel.

I shaved my face in the mirror using a razor. I always grow such a long beard and it is really annoying because it hurts my face a lot when my beard is long. And then I went outside into the morning and it was a very beautiful morning. The birds were chirping, and they were not mockingjays, at least I do not think they will. I am always very afraid that there will be rebels, since I do not like them one bit. Why would anybody rebel against me? I am such a good President, and that is why I let everybody win the Third Quarter Quell. I just do not want to be mean to all the people in Panem which I love.

"You are so stupid," A tense voice growled at me with tension. I was very afraid, "You're the worst President ever!"

I felt hurt. I think that I am a great president, "No!"

That's when the man stepped out from behind the dumpster and he pulled out his gun and slammed it into my neck, "Please... no!"

I was very afraid of the man as the gun which he had slammed into my neck and he said "You are the worst!"

His name was Edward Kingston, and he killed me. He is the new President of Panem.
