DAMIEN WATERS [/color] [/font] [/i]
The morning flew by. It was the coldest it had ever been in the house in all of the winters before. It felt like it did last night on the beach. The read marks on his face that were from the tears were still there. The tears probably froze onto his face, which is wear the red streaks came from. His father was out, probably down at the docks, and so Damien grabbed his coat and slipped it on, heading towards a long day at work. When he got there he didn't get any questions. No one noticed the marks on his face which was good. He wouldn't need to explain anything. He grabbed the net and headed towards the end of the docks. It was to cold to go in the water defiantly, but that didn't stop a few fisherman. Damien and one of the local fishermen cast out the net, pulling in a few fish. 4 or 5 at most. And the cast out again, and again, and again. In about half an hour they had about thirty fish, which was no where near enough. The winter time had always brought famine towards the districts. But District 4 usually had a fighting chance.
Since the fish liked warm salt water they swam somewhere warm, but no one really knew where. As Damien and the fisherman continued casting out the net, the fisherman looked at him. Damien lowered his head and pulled in the net. The fisherman just shook his head and did the same. As the pulled in the biggest load they had all day, which was about 15 fish, Damien left and got a fishing rod. He cast out and sat there waiting for the tug that signaled the end of a fishes life. As he waited, he remembered the only reason he fished with a rod, and that was to think about life and whatever problems it dawned upon him. So Damien began to think.
I'm becoming weak
I'm still alone; always have been, most likely will be forever
I feel sorry for myself
Why do I?
Because of my father?
And then it hit Damien. He didn't hate his father. But he hated what his father was doing to him. Making him become someone he didn't. Hell Damien was forced to believe the capitol's lies in school. He has always trained like a selfish carer, and that's what bothered him the most. Because that's not what he wanted. He never wanted any of it, but it's what he had. It's what District 4 was. Selfish carers. But maybe there was someone out there like him. Maybe the red haired boy that he saw running around sometimes. Maybe the girl that was crying in the snow.
But maybe the were the same.
Damien couldn't help but think of these people and who they were. Just then his line got a tuck and he went through the fishing process.
Give it a little yank. Wait for the fish to pull back a little. Reel it in slowly. Glorify your self for a hopefully big catch.
Damien actually didn't do to bad on the size, so he threw it into the catch. Earlier today someone caught a crab, and ran off to his house before anyone could catch him with it. That was the main story of Damien's day, which was sad.
