Twenty years have passed since we overthrew the Capitol. After Snow was killed, the Capitol was left vulnerable and District 13 easily took over. President Coin became the president of Panem, and she is a good leader.

Plough and I have a young girl called Katniss, who we nickname Kat, and an older boy called Thresh. We live in a house near where the Victor’s Village used to be; a set of houses built by District 13 workers. My grandparents live next door, and Plough’s parents live nearby. It’s near the fields, where people still work. They work happily and are treated and paid well.

            We have told the children our role in the revolution. We are not proud of it; other people are proud, for us it simply makes a good story for Kat and Thresh. I could not have shot Snow alone, so I am grateful Plough was there to help me.

Our children are allowed to play at the edge of the fields in the sun. The kids play tag and hide-and-seek mostly, but sometimes play pranks on the people working in the fields. The workers don’t mind though, as there are much worse games to play.
