Flint Lockwood ~ D7

Some say the look of a person can judge what they will act like. If you have better hair, or a better body then you might as well grant yourself lucky. If you are ugly, well then you will have a tougher time in life. My life has been quite tough at times but I don’t consider myself that ugly. Maybe just going through a tough life has got me even stronger.

Well to start off with I am quite tall, entering just above the 6 foot area. From working everyday in the sun, my body has become quite tan. Almost a permit dark that matches all the scars that had hidden themselves into my skin. Everyday I can feel my muscles go bigger just a tiny bit when I swing the axe down on the tree.

My eyes are narrowed with the darkness of my brown eyes almost covering up the white area. I can never get my hair to stay still, its always one loose hair there or there. Its very dark, just like the midnight sky that you can see when sitting onto of a tree at the highest point. Expect without the stars that litter the sky, no stars are in my hair.

If only my teeth could be as white as the rich people, then they could be stars on my face. Expect you would only see the top of my stars. When I smile, I always notice you can only see one row of my teeth but when others smile they show two rows. Is that strange? I think so, so when I smile. I smile, but nothing big with my teeth.

Those are the words that sum me up. Or a least people around me say that. I never really cared so much for what people thought about me. I did what I was told to do and did it well, maybe if I did do a little bragging or went beyond my limits. Which I can assure you I will stop, when I stop working or at least grown old enough to warn any children I have that cockiness does not get you any far. But I guess I have to be humble at least too, to admit I’m cocky.

I can say to your face I’m loyal. Want to hear a true story, a friend of mine got into trouble and I helped him with it. Other idiots would stay they did not help, but I did. We both got whipped but our friendship evolved until then and I can proudly say. Anyone would want me as a friend, expect I don’t allow that many people to become close friends. I mean, people are dieing everyday. In the games, why would I want to lose a loved one?

I just really want to not lose people. But even more I want to find the love of my life, one day I will find her and one day we will be happy. I don’t know when that day will come but once I have her. I will protect her and I will fight for her. Even in the games, but ripred forbid I got to the games. I don’t get scared easily but the games would be a true horror. But one day I maybe will have to step up for the call to help my friends in need. But that is one day and not right now.

As I have just mentioned earlier, I had a tough life growing up. I am a single child with two parents in a house. Does not sound bad right? But the tough part is I almost died when I was younger from starvation. So did the rest of my family. We were dirt poor like many people when I was younger, I was on the verge of just lying down and dying. But my dad found a sack of food on the road. We don’t know who gave it to us but we ate it all in a matter of days.

Things started picking up from there, as I went to school both of them collected more food. I learned how to chew on bark when I am in the woods and to start saving food. I don’t know who gave us the bag of food but it was a lifesaver one that saved my life and my parents. Sometimes you just need a little pick up to help you live through life.

The reaping was never a pick up in life. Having to see so many people that I have known or even had just barley glanced at die. It was horrible, but we would still have to go on and chop wood everyday. It got worse every year. But I have learned to not show sadness much, it does not help much when you are trying to forget it. You never know when your life will end, or how
