Foxface & the Serpent

"I have no doubts that they want to go back home as much as I do, however I've seen how deeply they enjoyed killing. I've seen how their eyes glowed with pleasure as they watched their victims die... And the idea that their lust for blood could be greater than my will to come home to you pains and frightens me like nothing ever has."

Here is one of the last things my older sister, Finch Dressel, has written in her diary before disappearing during the seventy-forth Hunger Games. Today, almost a year after the Revolution ended, I finally know the whole truth. Her truth. The truth of a teenager, barely older than I am right now, being sent to fight to the death against other teenagers, in order to entertain the Capitol's citizens.

And thanks to the program set up by President Paylor, I'm going to be able to tell her story, hoping that such a tradition will never be allowed to exist ever again.
