The arena looks humongous. Endless stairs surrounded the main floor of the amphitheater. I found it hard to believe that the hunger games take place where normal sports used to take place. My mentor walks beside me, I forgot their name, was it Ring? Diana? I find her hard to bare, but she was okay.
I look around, trying to find a good place to hide throughout the entire game. I know I won't be the best fighter, but hiding is also a smart strategy. My partner and I have already discussed being in an alliance with one another, and I promise that nobody should count us out. We may not be fighters, but brains are just as great.
"Otto, any ideas on where we should stay during the arena?" I ask my district partner as he walks beside me.
Just as he turns to me to respond, a ringing sound radiates the entire arena. A fiery explosion sets off, smoke clouds boom, everything is a blur. All I did was scream. Multiple Explosion shrapnel pierced through my body, rendering it completely wounded and burned. I couldn't even feel my own legs, or tell if they're still attached to my body. All I feel is my insides and outsides burning into a crisp. All of that preparation just to die before the games begin. How sad.
Placement: 22nd
