"There is always something you desire. It's in our nature."
That's what my father told me. A day before an unknown pilot crushed his skull in half.

Kill them before they kill you.
It's classic cliché, don't you think? The guy who lost his family, lost everything, wanderers alone, gets more angry every day. Lives as small, young orphan on the streets, doesn't trust anyone. Joins a bloodsport which everyone in this... terrible fucking universe loves for some reason. How he is trying to find people who killed his family. Thinks about it, writes things in his diary day after day, about those games, life around it...
Yes, yes, it's same story every time.
But it's still my story, in my diary. In my book. Story how I tried to survive in those games, find those life destroyers. Something I waited for years to tell, to try to remember. Maybe I remember it correctly, maybe I don't, maybe you know it already. There is a chance that you watched the games when everyone enjoyed it. When you could taste that bloodlust they experienced.
Fun times.
And I can still feel that.
