I didn't even try to get anything from the cornucopia, I knew it wasn't worth it. Instead I decided I would try and find the weakest tribute and follow them.
When I saw her I immediately knew she was the one. She was small and forgot to run off the pedestal right away.
She grabbed a backpack and ran into the forest. I followed about thirty steps behind, just to be careful.
She set her stuff down near a tree and started looking at the machete she grabbed. She moves it around in her hands and accidentally cuts her finger with the blade.
Looks like I picked the right person.
She digs around in the backpack and pulls out a bandage. After she wraps her finger in it she leaves the backpack and looks around.
She crouches near a plant, and eats one of its leaves. Her face twists into a scowl and she moves on to another plant.
The girls picks a few berries and pops them into her mouth. Idiot. Those are nightlock berries, they're extremely poisonous.
I wait until I hear the canon to pick up the backpack. I hear a hovercraft overhead, so I have to hurry.
The machete and the backpack are still at the bottom of the tree. I run as fast as I can to grab them, but as I go to grab the backpack, I trip and fall. My body manages to twist to the exact angle the machete was pointed, and it goes into my chest, puncturing my lung. I bleed out quickly.
At least I saved the gamemakers the trouble of having to come back for a second body.
