All the people in the district were gathered around the stage, so quiet you'd be able to hear a pin drop as Effie reached her hand into the reaping ball. Sweat poured down Josh's forehead. He took a deep breath and told himself 'I'll be fine, I mean my name is only on one of those many slips of papers, the chances of her choosing me aren't high at all.' Effie closed her fingers around a slip of paper and slowly raised it out of the bowl. She unfolded the paper and Josh squeezed his eyes shut as she began to read. "Joshua Dun" Hot, salty tears formed in the corner of his eyes and rolled down his cheeks. The peacekeepers trudged towards him. Josh did not want to go, his feet wouldn't move forward, he was frozen. The peacekeepers, dressed in their scary white suits grabbed his arms and dragged him to the stage. Once he was on the stage, Effie reached her hand into the other bowl, to pick the other tribute. Josh wasn't paying attention when she said who it was. He looked into the crown and saw his family, who he thought he would never see again.
Josh took a last look at his district before he stepped onto the train, where he would be riding to the capitol and get ready to be sent into the arena.
