The Thirst Games

Chapter 1

A solemn and anxious atmosphere surrounded the arena as the 24 tributes impatiently wait for the Panem anthem to conclude and for the Games to begin. Juan and Alana from District 3 exchange heartbreakingly sorry looks and mouth I love you to one another as they both understand that only 1 person will leave the arena with their life. There's only one thing that's worse than having to kill kids the same age as you until there's one left standing, and that is having to kill someone you care about in the process. Deep down, all the tributes knew that. Josue from District 11 cried like a little bitch. Evelinne (his long-time lover), spoke about soothing things to him in hopes that no one would see how much of a pussy her boyfriend is. Jason from District 7 wore a grim look on his face. He relished the thought of victory and he'd stop at nothing to get it. Nothing.
The announcer began the countdown, "The 75th Annual Thirst Games will begin in 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1..."
