Let the Games Begin!: A Hunger Games Remix

  Once again I woke up screaming.  My body jolted as I was carried out of my night terror. I spread my arms, searching for the warmth of another body in the sea of rough, canvas mattress.  I sighed in relief when I was able to find my sister.  I had another dream about the reaping, the thing that could end my life as easily as you could flip a coin. I tried to push all of the thoughts as I climbed into bed with my mother, and snuggled close to her.  I let visions of prancing in medows, of rainbows, and of all the good left in this world overcome me.  Then right before I let myself slip away, I realized ,with sadistic humor, that there wasn't anything good left in the world.
