The Third Annual Writer's Game: Roots

In Panem, there was the unspoken rule: do not forget where you came from. Do not forget the ashes and blood that spilled for you to live here. The little penance of yearly tributes let no one forget, but as the years passed by, people became distanced from the plights that Panem had built its structure upon.
Indeed, people had drawn off, confused and bored of the world in which they were born into. The games became weak, they became brittle like the bones of those who had died nearly a century before.
But no longer.
It is time to go back to our roots.
