Willow | The Hunger Games

District 8 wasn't a popular district. Sure, it provided clothes and textiles for the capitol, but that was about it. Nothing special.

Nature in the district was rare, being a rural place. The only tree they had was a willow, a sign of hope for the people of eight. A sign that the games and government didn't take everything from them.

Mockingjays, the offspring of a failed experiment, liked to play the notes and songs they heard, sitting on the tree. They sat there all day, until a hanging was happening. Another reminder that the capitol owned district 8 and every other.

But old ropes fall from the tree, don't they?
