75 Games, 75 Drabbles

by Jazzy Pseudonym

There were 75 Hunger Games before Katniss Everdeen changed everything. Now, there will be 75 drabbles, one for each. Each story is only 100 words. BONUS, Drabble 76:The crowd wants my death, they want justice. It's unfair, but I can still smile. Through my death, so many others will live.

48. Return & Bittersweet

Key Word: Return

POV: Caitlyn Rommer, District 4

Return

The train ride lasted exactly an hour and 14 minutes. It wasn't like I had anything better to do. I turned off the television. All they were showing was the hunger games re-runs. I didn't have the stomach to watch.

I was escorted off of the train. I saw a small crowd gathered at the station. They cheered and celebrated. The feast had already begun. But then I noticed her in the back. She was frowning, a tear in her eye. I remembered who she was.

And she was crying because her brother wasn't the one to return.

Two for the price of one!

Key Word: Bittersweet

POV: Tally Bet, District 7

Bittersweet

I stood alone as I heard the cannon boom. The consequence of my actions was still settling in. I didn't feel like a murderer. I didn't feel much of anything at all.

I stayed silent on the hover-ride back to the Capitol. They stuck needles in me, my Stylist prepped my hair. Someone handed me a sandwich. Simple things, really. It's always the basic things we take for granted. People swarmed around me, smiling idiotically.

"Congratulations." I always heard. Why would they say such a thing? Didn't they know they were applauding the actions of murder?
