Get in, stay alive, get out.

I don't want to kill anyone, never have and, hopefully, never will. But this is the games and I'll do what I have to if it means survival. I've got parents and an older brother who care about me back home. That's hard to find in Panem.

When the girl stepped off her plate, I shut my eyes tight and breath through my mouth, but I can still smell charred flesh. I'll see lots of death in the next couple days, I just didn't expect it to happen so soon.

I decided that what I needed to do was get to the outer edge of the arena, that way I can have the force field to my back and I can't be attacked without first seeing the attacker.

I left the bloodbath behind me quickly and started running towards the forest.

I knew the forest couldn't go on forever so I was expecting the force field to come up soon.

What I did not anticipate was how I was going to find it. Well, I found it alright. After I ran straight into it.
