She's safe

Is she? She has six more Reapings. Is she safe? Six years ago I knew me and Rubik would always be best friends. Two months ago I knew I'd spend my life with women and alcohol. This morning I knew I wasn't going to be reaped. And as of now, I know I'm going to die. What will I know tomorrow? -Pandora Woodards - windy

EVERY RENE POST - sidney

this was just one of my top ones, but everything max writes is wild good:

Below in the square, a lone tree stands - it's roots squared off by stone slabs, which are part of a larger mosaic design of the Capitol emblem. It looks so out of place, planted amidst all this concrete and twisted metal. It's the closest thing to nature the people here know, and in that I draw some form of solace. For all their wealth, they'll never know what it's like to stand in a forest, breathe it in, feel your lungs stretch and your chest feel alive.

Between drags of my cigarette, I watch the blinking red lights of cranes on the skyline as the final shades of daylight finally slip away. The outlines of the giant towering buildings fade and blend into the black, and only the yellow squared windows are left to describe their form.

Some reach so tall that they look as if they might pierce straight through the sky, into something else. They are grotesque displays of human engineering, like each one was built to be taller than the last. The largest of all of them stands as prouder a victor as any of us, reaching high up into the night, a giant middle finger to all of Panem.

Rows of golden lights burn into the darkness, stretching out to the black horizon. The amber glow almost makes the city look like it's made of gold. Flickering streaks of magenta, or bright white catch in the corner of my eye, and block text scrolls past LED screens at a hundred miles an hour, so fast that I blink and miss the message.

Above it all, the searing low din of vehicles and machines, all screaming together in coarse harmony. There are no birds singing here, or crickets chirping. Just the grey sounds of progression for progression's sake.

There's so much noise, everywhere. - ele

"Is it normal to feel so afraid at the end? Is everyone like this when they come face to face with death; so desperate to continue living that you find yourself crying at the thought of losing this precious thing that you've barely experienced. Life is so fast, like a flicker on a reel of film, flashing across your eyes before it burns up, and then that's it, you're gone - forever.

It hardly seems fair at all." - Izzy - Kay

Willis’ death post cause I remember reading it when I first joined and just going “fuck.”

It’s flawless as to be expected, but I also loved how Rook incorporated blurred out text to show his death and agh, it’s still so damn good. - pogue

um rene reaping post thats it send tweet - kait

You really want me to narrow it down to just one?? - frankel

Except I am being made sport of. There is no cause for me. I'm not fighting in the rebellion, I'm not saving the people I love, I'm being sent into battle against the oppressed. I'm being made to kill for entertainment. My death will be watched on television and sliced into highlight packages for media consumption and analysis.

I'm standing in the path of a hurricane, eyes closed, teeth clenched. - zori

Happy birthday, Rook! You’ve always been someone I’ve looked up to on the site both for your incredible ability to write as well as your kindness towards everyone. I hope you have a wonderful day and that it treats you well, with lots of booze and cake, or whatever the equivalent to cake is for Brits, probably something with beans? Again, cannot understand the beans ffs - pogue
