Of the Insane

by The Whispering Panda

*CLOSED* 101 years after Katniss and Peeta's Games, Cato won, and the Games have continued as planned. This year is a Quarter Quell, and it's full of surprises. So enjoy the family you have now, because it's most likely the winner will lose their mind.

9. The Reading Of The Card

Anonymous Citizen of Panem's POV

"And for the seventh Quarter Quell," the President says. I expect her to pull out a card or slip of paper or read from her hand or something, but she does nothing. Instead she says, "For this Quarter Quell, we will not be reading from a card. Instead, we have planned deadly surprises for the tributes. We plan to have many, many deaths every day, so we will be reaping three times the original amount of tributes."

She lets this sink in. Three times the original amount? This means three boys and three girls from each district! My stomach lurches with the thought of watching all those deaths, which are sure to be horrible.

"So, enjoy the family you have now, because it is very likely the survivor will lose their mind."
