The Hunger Games: Success
As the second cannon fires, I know there’s one more person to kill until victory is mine.
I can’t kill another innocent person, especially Rue, a twelve year old. How did she get so far in the games? Probably outsmarted everyone.
I try to push those thoughts aside, but as I walk through a small current of water I see something move. I’m pretty sure its a small animal.
“Hello?” I whisper, but all I hear are leaves ruffling.
It’s probably just my imagination. I pictured her small face in my mind, i know I have to do this, but I can’t I’d rather outlive her, rather than causing her any harm. What are the consequences? No body will do anything, thats what hurts the most. To think that nobody cares if you kill someone, or get killed. I hate the capitol for making us do this to kids, ot just them, but also their families.
“Glimmer?”
I kept moving on I knew it was a trick. What if she needs my help? There’s no one here that can harm her, but me, She doesnt need to be protected.
“Glimmer, please I won’t hurt you”
“What do you want?”
“i just want to work this out, we both know that neither of us will hurt each other.”
“We can’t just stay here forever, theyre going to make us kill each other.”
“No, not ifif we kill ourselves”
“What? No.”
“Glimmer, I’m sick and tired of being an object to them. I’m done with this, with everything” “How are we going to do that?”
“See those berries?” she points to a pile of small dark berries “We each take a handful and then we wait.”
“I can’t do this, I’m not ready to die.”
“Glimmer, I dont want to kill you. I dont want you to kill me. I’m doing you a favor.”
“Okay.”
We walk towards the handful of berries, where I will die. I look at my surroundings carefully for one last time. The grass, the sky, the animals. I’m not ready, but I have no other choice. We slowly raise our hands toward our mouth to eat the berries, but just as we are
