User blog:Ashley1000/Ashley Willows Story 72 annual hunger games

I can hear the waves crashing, the breeze whispering, and the birds flying. I am closing my eyes, thinking ahead of my future. Please dont pick me at the reaping, it will start soon.

I stand up from the warm sand of District 4's beautiful beach filled with willow trees, thats where my last name comes from. Aqua Willows. I start walking towards the town's square. It's my sixth year at the reaping, my brother's third. He's turning 13 soon.

I love my home, the nature. I hate the Capitol and it's torture. On my way, let me tell you a bit about me. My name is Aqua Willows, I'm 16, from District 4. My mother died in a shark attack, 3 years ago, when I was 13, my brother was 10. It was painful for my whole family, and I know that it has damadged us all permanently.
