district seven
Just another typical day here in District Seven. Boring, sad, and stupid. What had even made the Capitol think that they could split Panem into Districts, and gain resources off of us? Who the hell did they think they were? If it weren't for this god damn districts, my parents would still be alive, and I wouldn't have to stay with my bloody annoying sister. It's strange, how I've had all this anger building up in me, and I still haven't had the guts to actually do something about it. I swear, next time the games come around, I am going to kill the escort, and make sure they never come back. Screw the Peacekeepers. They can't do crap to me.
My house was dead silent. My sister was probably out doing something un-productive, leaving the lumbering labor up to me. She only knew I'd do it because it's how I release my stress. It's how I train up my muscles and power, for when, you know. I volunteer for the games. It was simple. I volunteer, I win, I get the money, Kick my sister out and live happily ever after... With the burden of my parents death however. But, I could last. I have so far, haven't I? It's weird how I get into such deep thought, just standing here in the bathroom, looking at my reflection in the mirror. It's edges had begun to rust, but other then that, it was perfectly in-tact. Sometimes I wish I was prettier, I admit, but that doesn't get you anywhere in life. You know what does though? Setting goals. Big, or small. As you can see, I've set mine: To get revenge on the Capitol for killing my parents and ruining my life. I was going to hit them so hard, they wouldn't even know what was coming.
I roll my eyes at my reflection, my "deep thought" session has now ceased to exist. Now, I was going to go to the labor my sister couldn't be paid to do; Even if it meant she couldn't eat for a day. Funny how lazy people can get, eh? But it's fine all together. Her being fat and lazy just makes it all the more easy to kick her out when I come back Victor of the Games. Simple really. I shuffle my feet down the stairs, grabbing the two hatchets lying at the base of them. They were both double sided, and recently sharpened. Oh, how sweet. my sister was helping me make my labor easier. She sharpened my hatchets for me. Ha, as if I'd be grateful for her. I roll my eyes, and sluggishly exit. Today certainly was not my day. Lucky for me, I lived on the outskirts of the District, and the forest was practically my backyard. It was great. Cut tree's and take a 2 minute trip back home.
A smile plastered on my face as I lifted my right arm, ready to make contact with the brown tree trunk sitting there in front of me. Just think of my sisters face on it, and BOOM, it'll be down within minutes. I begin to hack away, the splinters and woodchips flying past me. This was my pleasure, and this was my life. Cutting tree's was how I lived, and it's how I controlled my emotions. Lucky for me, I didn't live in sappy districts where they cut gems, or fish. This was real labor, and real work, and actually took some effort to do. Deep in thought, my hatchet begin to get blunt, but they're doing their job, so I don't bother checking them.As the tree is at the peak of falling, I swing my hatchet at it one last time, sending the trunk to the ground. Yes, this was the life. I couldn't wait to get home and tell my sister what I've been planning, whilst she sits around partying and talking with her friends. Deep in happy thought, a bush ruffles next to me. I wasn't sure who or what it was, but I was eager to find out. Hopefully, it wasn't a hungry bear. Only time could tell.
