"Kara Morlin."

Thank god.
But, as I watch her walk up the stairs and her the horrible wails of her mother trying to fight against the peacekeepers, (who are so freaking drunk they only wobble in front of her) an even worse thought comes into my head.

But honestly what do I have to loose? I live alone, my family is dead, and my crap job in town (the bakery is nice, but instead of babysitting I'd rather work elsewhere.) basically only pays me 25 cents a day. My house is one room, I'm half starved, And-

I'd don't need to continue convincing myself.

I catch my voice just as Loreal asks for volunteers, and shout "I volunteer as tribute!"

About halfway up, I realize that little girl who was depressed over her sister who got reaped and killed in the bloodbath, was gone forever.
