I am Gale Hawthorne.
Master of the wild.
Seeker of beasts.
Scavenger of the forest.
Okay, maybe not. Maybe I'm really just a poor teen from the Seam, violating all law and regulations to scrape together meals for my family, by hunting illegally in out-of-bounds areas.
So what? If the Capitol expects my family to survive off of the cheap Tesserae grain and water oh-so-generously provided by them, they've obviously had one too many body alterations. They better turn a blind makeup-covered eye on my desperate fights against starvation, and focus on their own pressing issues, such as deciding which colour they should next dye their nose-hair.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't joke about this. If they knew what we were up to, we would be turned into Avoxes, quick as a fleeing rabbit. And the stakes are ever so higher now. Not only do I have to provide for myself and my family, I've made a pact with my best friend to support hers. The world has changed forever.
Katniss Everdeen is gone.
