The problem with five people surviving tragedy is that there are five of them. Supply and demand, if you will; the media has no need for five separate stories when they can tell one or two... four, maybe, if it comes to that. They're all heroes at first, of course, but the fact is that time passes and eventually that number dwindles. Sometimes, people die. Others, they get boring. But the number always fails.

A year has passed and only four stories are still being told. The cameras have begun to fade, and it seems as though the world doesn't remember that a year ago they were on the cover of every paper, worshipped and discussed and remembered. But life goes on, and with each moment comes another, sometimes more painful than the last, sometimes less.
But a year goes by, and eventually so will another. Time always passes.
--------------------------
THE TASK:
Pretty straightforward. What is happening to your character a year after the events of the Games? What is their life like? Are they happy? You have free range in this, so long as it happens a year later.
Word Limit: 2,500 words.
Due Date: Thursday, December 3rd at 10 PM GMT.
