The 2500th Hunger Games: The Quarter Quell of Quarter Quells.

The end was almost near.

I could sense my imminent doom as though it were the heart beating under my skin, the blood swimming through my veins. I was going to die. I knew it. I could sense it. I didn’t ask for this, did I? What had I done to result in such a bloody and unchangeable fate? Was I irredeemable? Were the consequences of my actions too much for anybody to handle? Did my own family condemn me to hell? These questions were stupid, infantile, in fact, but why the hell would I care?

I was going to die.

I could sense it.

The platform was moving up, up. The porthole about me opened, blinding me temporarily. Light. The sign of hope. The false sign of hope. Up where the light came from was not where I was going. I would die looking up at the light.

I had no hope of survival. I wasn’t trained. I wasn’t prepared for this. I don’t deserve this.

I could see the other tributes. Things were not looking good. I couldn’t find anywhere to hide. What was I to do?

9.

I couldn’t find her. Where was she? We planned to cooperate.

8.

Did she not survive?

7.

No. I can’t believe it.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Goddamnit where is she? She can’t have died.

<p class="MsoNormal">5.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Where is she? I said to myself. There was only one answer.

<p class="MsoNormal">4.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">I might as well step off the pedestal now. Blow myself up. I have no chance.

<p class="MsoNormal">3.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Wait, my conscience said,'' you can do this. Avenge her ''

<p class="MsoNormal">2.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">I thought it over. Should I commit the sinful violence perpetrated by the Capitol and remain clean, or give into the revenge.

<p class="MsoNormal">1.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Who do I have to kill?

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone! After a brief two-year hiatus, I, VarinEgo, am back with a new username (NaturalDisaster2). I attempted to make something similar to this back when I was 13, but lacked the emotional maturity and the writing fluency to make a coherent story. However, with summer vacation fast approaching, I am back and ready to please.

<p class="MsoNormal">The 2500th Hunger Games is very similar to what I attempted back in 2013, but expanded. Because this is the 100th Quarter Quell, the occasion is special. This is the biggest Hunger Games that the Capitol has ever produced, along with the biggest budget. In fact, the budget was so massive that they had to cut the distribution of food into the poorer districts, causing outrage. The entire nation is in civil unrest, so the Capitol has to please.

<p class="MsoNormal">In this Hunger Games, 4 tributes are reaped per 11 districts (Districts 12 and 13 have since been destroyed) based on the votes of the community. Anybody who does not vote is shot on sight. Once reaped, they are taken directly to the Tribute Parade, where President Snow announces that there will be no training. The tributes will be taken directly to the arena. Or so they think.

<p class="MsoNormal">You see, the tributes are not taken to the arena, but rather to 11 different mini-arenas. Randomly selected, they are to fight until two are left per arena. Immediately after killing two of their comrades, the tributes are taken directly to the main dome-like arena, which is ten miles in diameter. There, a normal Hunger Games would commence, except there a twist yet to be revealed.

<p class="MsoNormal">NOTE:

<p class="MsoNormal">The choices are completely random, so I have nothing against you if your tribute dies at the beginning.

<p class="MsoNormal">There will be language and graphic violence in this Hunger Games, so viewer discretion advised.

<p class="MsoNormal">You are encouraged to submit multiple tributes. Submit any alliances for approval to me.

<p class="MsoNormal">Let the games begin!
