We all hoped he would be okay, but deep in our hearts we knew there was a low possibility. As the Doctor handed us the results, my mothers hands trembled. My father slowly opened the envelope he took a deep breath. As he read the expression on his face still lingers in my mind. As he chocked back a sob, he told us Rye's cancer was gone. He would live to experience all the things boys should. He would be able to live a half normal life. Poor Rye would have to take breathing treatments for the rest of his life. But it wasn't as bad as life before the War.

Today my parents took me to The Graveyard. They showed me the grave that belonged to a man named, Haymitch Abernathy. My parents describe hims as their mentor during,'The Games.' Then mom took me too her old house in,'The Victors Village. It lay in ruins from the war. She shows me a brown leather jacket, she said that it belonged to her father. He explains how he taught her to hunt, until he died in a mine explosion. Then she led me to the closed mines. She told me about Gale Hawthorne, her former hunting partner, and how he betrayed her. She explains how he was responsible for the bomb that killed her sister. Then she tells how he ran off to District 2. Next she led me to a battered fence, the former district boundary. These woods had belonged to the Capitol. This pas world slowly opens up to me as it betrays its former harsh self.
