Not Everyone Gets a Lullaby

The tributes of the 74th annual Hunger games. Not encountered much by Katniss, but each other? Each tribute's death scene.

11. Run

District 6 Male

The only thing to do is run.

I leap off my stand as the gong sounds out, and I'm one of the faster tributes since I had the sense to jump at the last second so I would hit the ground and be safe, while having a head start. I found that pretty clever.

I shoot off and glance over to where a boy, I think from 3, is killing his own district partner. I feel like screaming at him but by now I'm at the Cornucopia. I pick up a knife with exchangeable blades, almost hidden in a nook on the outside of the gold metal.

That's when I see the tall guy from District 1, Marvel, approaching. I back up but hear the clang of metal behind my back. He mouths something but I can't hear because someone is screaming, and pulls a spear from a pile of weapons. The crook in the Cornucopia makes escape possible.

There's nowhere to run now.
