Don't even get me started

    They call us the W.P., no one likes us. I can't blame them though, I mean who would like people like us, like me? We come barging into your home snatching the any and all water that is not within regulation. And the regulations, don't even get me started on those. They are absolutely ridiculous, 4 gallons per week. Which to people who don't understand how much water is supposed to be consumed, it's a half gallon extra per week for what an average citizen to survive. The W.P. or The Water Police, tacky I know, but anyway we come barging in a either just take the water away and fine the family or, if they are smuggling too much extra water they are thrown into prison. Don't even get me started on the water they give to prisoners, its sick.
    The scientists, that of course kinda run the world now-a-days, say that there is only enough water to last two more years. That's if the water rations don't change at all. People are scared, desperate and when people are scared they lose their humanity. People are talking about how the next step is to reduce population, but what will that do? Buy us all an extra year, that is of course if we make the cut to survive. Don't even get me started on how corrupt that choosing would become.
    A year ago some guy found an old book, written in early 2000's, one people didn't realize existed. Some people want to take that work of fiction, make believe and make it come true. Use it to reduce our population, its disgusting that people can talk about it like that. What's even sicker is how the government bought into it. The citizens don't know it yet but the next Hunger Game, is in a month. Anyone from 12-28 can be drafted. The government made some adjustments from Suzanne Collins wrote a story meant to entertain. Instead 24 contestants its 50 and one winner and instead of one game a year it's one every other week. Every other week our government helps get 49 people killed. That's not even the worst part.
    They want me in the first one, they want me to be the first winner, someone they can control. Someone they have trained for a year, someone they know will win. Someone that they then can use to prove that government workers are getting picked for the games just like the everyday citizens.
    What the government doesn't know is that I'm not a killer. Sure, I'm the best shot, best fighter, fastest runner in the W.P., but I don't kill. Especially for the government. They don't realize is that I will use all of my training to take down the game. That I will use my skill to break those kids out of the game. I will not let the games be a success. If it's the last thing I do I will destroy the Hunger Games. Don't even get me started.
