What kind of person kills their daughter?
Me.
Why.
Why.
Why did my brother win the Hunger Games? I wouldn't be here if he hadn't won. He died 5 years after he won, and spent all his money was used on gambling. Him winning the games was no use for our family. It just harmed us even more.
Why did the Capitol exist? Why did the war that started the Hunger Games happen?
What kind of person had the right mind to send children to fight to the death on national television and force every single person in the nation to watch, just for entertainment and punishment? Why are the district poor and the Capitol rich?
I remember one time when Vixen was alive. She was around 5.
"Daddy, why is the Capitol rich and the Districts not?"
That question made me think. Really. Why? They never really pay the Districts, but they do all the work. I sighed.
"I don't know sweetheart."
I feel the arm of my assistant wrap around me and guide me from the room. I realize a lot of time has passed. My head turns, my eyes not looking anywhere but my daughter until she's out of my sight. Forever.
"Seneca. This is a hard time for all of us."
I realize that my assistant was sort of like a mother to Vixen.
And she was like a wife to me.
