I walk down the street, my breath not puffing out before me for once. It's warm today - almost too warm to really believe that it's still wintertime. Sunshine beats down on my skin for the first time in months, and I smile happily. When it's warm, I'm most comfortable with myself and with the world. Humming slightly, I try not to notice how many people are outside today. So many people make me uncomfortable, but I don't want to be unhappy on a day like this. Not today.
Still feeling bright, I make my way down the street and onto the outskirts of town, where the fence is. I've never been on the other side of the fence, and I never really plan to, but I like to sit here and look out on the wild lands beyond. What is out there, besides the other parts of Panem? Is there anything past there, or is it all just country? These are thoughts I've never entertained in my head before, and I find myself really questioning the Capitol for the first time in my life...well, besides the time that Trip told me that he wanted to volunteer for the Games. Why does the Capitol insist on doing this to us? Shaking my head and trying to clear it, I look again out onto the trees.
