President Fire's P.O.V

"Welcome, sir." A gamemaker says.

"Is everything set up?" I ask.

"Yes, sir." Another gamemaker says.

"Perfect. The games start at ten o'clock. Let's make sure that everything works. I don't want any complications during this whole thing."

I stand over all of the gamemakers, enjoying being the Head Gamemaker. I see all the gamemakers checking everything. That looks hard, but fun.

I sit down in the Head Gamemaker's seat. The seat isn't anything. It's just a chair with arm rests. Nothing special. 

"Sir, everything is working perfectly." A gamemaker says.

"Okay." I say. I check my watch and look down at the gamemakers. "It is almost 10:00. Start preparing the tubes."

Everyone starts preparing the tubes. I patiently wait for the bloodbath that will soon follow. This is very exciting. 

Finally, it is time for the tributes to go into their tubes. "Let the games begin." I silently say to myself.

Let the games begin indeed.
