Enver ran for the Ferris wheel.
He was done with dramatics, he was done with being thrown about and being put through mental torture. The sooner this was over, the better. He had spend the entire time fighting against what he was, who he was... For what? Not a single tribute had said a kind word to him, not a single tribute had thought him worthy enough to Allie with - in a game full of competitors Enver was still alone.
And now? Now that his re-boot had kicked in and his body was becoming more mechanical with everybreath, yet his mind was becoming more human? How could he survive that change? Did he want to?
When Enver reached the ferris wheel, he took a moment to catch his breath and look around him. The carnival was decimated - like it had been hit with a sudden plague that had left everything in ruin. Rides overturned, food rotting on the floor from where it had been dropped... and was that blood staining the metal rails? He cocked his head - maybe the forest hadn't been so bad.
Hearing footsteps in the distance, Enver knew he should move to try and get a better vantage point so he turned and began to scale the Ferris wheel. Far easier than a tree, he thought, more things to hold onto. Soon he reached the top and he settled down in one of the Ferris cars and peered down. However, as he did that a small box caught his eye - it had a paper note attached to it that had his name printed on it.
With nimble fingers Enver picked up the box and pulled it open. A screwdriver fell out along with some tweezers. He sighed, he knew right away what this was - the basic repair kit for his robotic arm. No food, no water, no medicine or protection... only tools to keep his mechanical heart beeping. Really though, he expected nothing less - his mother had acted like a machine long before Enver became one.
Underneath the tools another peice of white paper sat; this one however, he recognised. It was his own handwriting and it was the letter he was asked to write after he found out he was joining the hunger games. He re-read the ten disjointed words.
'Enver feel, Enver die. Enver doesn't feel, Enver is Victor.'
He knew the truth in his simple words, when a more logical and sane Enver had been around that may have given him strength to carry on - however the Enver reading the words now was not the same. He'd died - twice, murdered countless amounts of times and seen things no person should ever see. THIS Enver didn't like those words and didn't take kindly to them. He ripped the paper in two and threw it off the edge - watching it float away in the breeze.
A groaning noise from the fairground floor caused Enver to peer over the rusted edge of the seat.He cocked his head when he saw some kind of brown mud-like creature dragging it's body along. Oddly enough though, it had a clowns wig and nose... strange, he thought as it watched it disappear into the foggy fairground. He waited for a few moments longer but when he saw no sign of anymore life, he made his way back down the Ferris wheel.
His feet hit the floor with a thud that seemed to echo like a graveyard. He shuddered and took a few steps into-
"Fitting for a dead man walking?" said a voice. It was high pitched - maniacal - scary. Enver turned and what he saw, made him rub his eyes until they were red.
A mango - like the fruit - with a face, stared down at him. "Have I lost my mind?" he asked, looking at his fruitbowl like it was a figment of his imagination.
"Probably," it said, "but we're all mad here." Enver said nothing in return - just stared at it. "I've never popped a robot before. I wonder what you sound like?"
Enver blinked. "Cyborg. Not Robot. Get your facts right."
It's eyes seem to glint with something dark as it opened up its jagged mouth. "Doesn't matter either way, does it? I'm going to squash you regardless."
He shrugged. "Try it."
The mango accepted the challenege and rolled forward - it was slow and Enver t a step to the side, watching it flail around. This went on for a few moments befre Enver grew bored. The mango rolled for a third time and Enver pounced - with his robotic arm, he dug it right inside the soft fruit. It screamed but Enver paid no attention and simply continued to pull open the fruit - by the time he was done, he was sat in a puddle of mango juice and flesh. It was then he realised how hungry he was...
He picked up a handful of Mango, toying with the idea of eating it. Well, he thought, Enver doesn't feel... so maybe, Enver doesn't think.
Enver shrugged. "We're all mad here," he said as he gorge himself on the sweetest Mango he'd ever tasted.
