Amanda sits alone in the sand staring off into the sea. She starts skipping small rocks into the sea and watches them, bounce, sometimes twice, or three times, or four, until they fall under the soft waves and disappear forever. Next to her is a tote bag with a spear for fishing sticking out of it. Besides the spear, the bag contains a journal containing lyrics of unfinished songs, a wallet containing a bit of spending money, and knit scarf in case she were to get cold.
Amanda pulls out the journal and starts singing a few lyrics " If you should hear me, why don't you take me, past the waves, through the oceans depths, beyond the district where we lie" her beautiful soprano voice singing each word.
She suddenly stops, ashamed at the thought that maybe someone heard her singing. She lies down, the sand forms around her as she looks above at the sun shining above her. For an hour or so, she daydreams about what could be beyond District 4, beyond the Capitol, out where there's no districts, or rules, or regulations, a world different from what she knows.
Her daydreaming is interrupted by a voice. She matches the voice to a face and looks above her to see a person standing above her, smiling.
