Anne Marker
District 8
Died 82 A.D.D
She had always had stage fright. Whenever the attention was on her, she'd freeze.
When the escort called her name, she froze and had to be dragged on stage by Peacekeepers.
When the cheers of the crowd smashed into her eardrums during the tribute parade, she froze.
When the bright lights blinded her during the interview, she froze.
She wished she could do anything else besides freeze.
When the girl from One threatened her on her pedestal, she got her wish.
Unfortunately, the gong had yet to ring.
I know, I know, I technically said I wasn't doing Tributember, and I technically am like half a month late, but everyone is doing Tributembers and FOMO got the better of me and well, here we are. That, and I was inspired by some of the second place fics I saw out there. This fun little drabble series will focus on the tributes that were the first to die.
I'll catch up soon, I think. Best of luck to all of us and to me because what am I even doing?
