The first hunger games- Abandoned

Chapter nine: torture device?

"So, what kind of construction was going on?" I ask my mom after she had finished her food and we had taken a seat in what you could call the living room. It's really more like the kind of space you would see in a shack. Although we do have a couch and the mandatory rusty projector on a shelf. "Hmm?" She asks, I sigh. She was probably off in her own little world of either misery, so re-living my brothers death as well as her husbands, or happiness, so a world where she still had a husband and a son and two daughters instead of one."the construction you said was happening a little whiles away from the square" I say, looking at her to make sure that she is listening this time. "I don't know much, when I asked, all the workers had to say was that I would find out tonight." Then I get an awful feeling. What possible torture device are they constructing? Then the conversation with Emerald comes back to me... "you don't think he's going to punish us or something, for starting a rebellion, do you?" "I don't think so, haven't they already done that by killing off so many people, and by making the people who survived have to live in these conditions?" Now I'm even more spectacle about my answer then i was before. I'm almost positive that this announcement is going to tell us that they are gonna torture the districts. Who knows? Maybe every month they'll take one person from one district and publicly execute them, not just in front of their own district, but in front of the whole of Panem. That way, by the end of the year, one person from each district will be dead. Maybe that's exaggerating, maybe that's not though, it's the Capitol, who knows what they will do. "Anything else?" I ask my mom "did you see anything?" I try to sound normal, I try not to let my voice waver, but it does. Thankfully, she doesn't seem to notice, that or she doesn't care. "Well-" she's cut off by the projector screen coming alive. Guess it's time for the announcement.
