User blog:Andy1854/The Hunger Games: In the Shoes of Galissa

All of us are anxious and worried as we stand on our plates, waiting for the buzzer to sound, which will start these death games. I look at the other tributes. The girl and boy from District 7, whose names are Grind and Grievous, eye the weapon I have my eyes on: the throwing knives. I can see my district partner, Gouge. He is looking at the sword. I look around. It is me against 23 people and I don't even know the names of half of them. I look at the trees, and back at the Cornucopia. Seethe from District 2 has her hard eyes placed on me. That is when the buzzer sounds. I run into the mouth of the Cornucopia and an arrow is fired at me. It's Crop from 1. It misses me barely and I catch it. I turn around and jab a girl who is unknown to me straight in the arm. She pulls it out. I am cornered. That is when I see my pack. But Crop fires another arrow at me. I get an idea and when the arrow misses barely again, I pretend to take it in and fall to the ground. I let some drool slide from my mouth and onto the floor of the Cornucopia to give the impression that I am dead. I can see from the corner of my eye that Crop has strangled the other girl now. When he runs out of the Cornucopia, I keep myself against the hard floor. If I pretend I am dead, I have a higher chance of living. But there was an issue to my plan. Lana, who was eying my knives before, snatches the knife pack. But as she runs out of the Cornucopia, Seethe kicks her to the ground. The pack flies back into the pile as Lana is knocked to the ground. I can barely see Seethe using a machete to literally disassemble poor Lana. Then I see my partner out on the grass. When he sees my "thought to be dead body", he goes crazy. He charges at Crop and Crop kills him.
