Epilogue:
I was sitting in my home, watching the Interviews of the Victors on TV. Solena sat next to me, her head resting on my shoulder.
The interviews ended and the screen suddenly shifted. President Snow appeared.
" ATTENTION! All citizens of the Capitol are required to attend the Execution tomorrow. The Execution of EX-Head Gamemaker, SENECA CRANE" The screen went black.
A tear ran down Solena's cheek, running over her silent lips. Brushing the red hair from her eyes, I bent over and kissed her on the forehead. Smiling, I went to bed.
The next day arrived early with a hard banging on the door. I opened it and a strong, meaty hand clenched my shoulder and shoved me outside. " Good Morning!" I said to the Brute of a guard who had killed the boy earlier as he forced me into the white truck.
Later, I was taken out and pushed into the Stadium, where an old gallows had been Resurrected. I was shoved up to the top. In front of me was all the Capitol. I heard President Snow from his throne, Plutarch sitting in the place of the Head Gamemaker. " Any last words..."
I smiled and shook my head. The scratchy noose was tightened around my neck. I found President Snow in the crowd, our eyes locked. Slowly I raised 3 fingers to my lips and extended them out, like I had seen District 12 do on Reaping day.
Catching on, some of the Capitol even began to do this. President Snow's eyes flew wide open with horror. I threw back my head and laughed.
The floor dropped from under me, I was falling...falling...
Blackness.
