Never Feel a Thing (A Hunger Games Fanfic)

The Hunger Games is a grueling and horrific annual event in Suzanne Collin's dystopian series of the same name. Atlas Duncain is a District 4 sailor with an abnormally high IQ who has lived his entire life alone. Just as it seems his life is becoming a hard won and comfortable routine, fate casts him into the limelight when he finds himself the one person in all of District 4 unlucky enough to be unwillingly selected for The 35th Hunger Games. Having grown up an orphan with only his wits, bizarrely high intelligence, and a steel forged will born out of years of hardship and isolation to help him survive, this fifteen year old cynic decides he may actually have a chance at winning this year's games. But Atlas slowly realizes to his horror that maybe coming back alive isn't the same thing as surviving...
