"Why Tia? You've been doing it longer than I have."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiKDN1xEvA
Tia is my older sister and it's her last year to be entered into the reaping.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aGrb7HKPz
"Well, it's not really about me. It's about Ben."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVlmEIhWfm
"He's not going to be chosen." I said firmly. I was confident that he wouldn't be, I mean, Tia and I took tesserae so support our family. He is only in there once. 908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3IqcwCTFM
"But what if he is?"908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg4u2q9NRM
"He won't be."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMn37FCEgY
"How can you be so sure?"908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTQOpxPWE3
"You've made it all six years, I've made it four. Neither of us have been picked. Why are you worried about him now?"908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBYq8INMGd
"Well, what if --"908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9Sk7hrrmw
"If Ben is chosen, he'll do fine, I mean, he can sword fight."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1AuQiMomW
"You seriously call those fights that you have with Ben actual knowledge of sword fighting? I mean, it's just a little fun after work."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyqbpYVTqb
"Tia. It's actually a good workout. Anyways. I think Ben would do better than you in the games." I say with a laugh.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMvKD7OiFv
"Why do you make the Games such a light subject? No one else is out there laughing about it."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNBM6K0Jme
"I don't know. I guess it keeps the pain out of my mind."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH0by0ent9
Tia quickly turned on her heels and walked away to the room where she worked. She's only 18, but works full time as a seamstress. I guess I shouldn't be talking either. I finished school quite a bit early and am working full time in a factory. I man a few machines that weave fabric. It's a lot of running around, probably about a five or six miles an hour, considering how big the factory is. I don't mind though. I love running. 908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DspXZhynZ
It's kind of surprising that Tia and I are related. I love her and all, but we are so different, she's more precise, detail-oriented, rule following, and thinks she so much more mature. I know I'm not mature, but not naïve. Sure I don't think a lot about thing before I do things, but I'm quick. I like to color outside the lines. 908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaRKsHMiT3
Ben is sweet. He's still in school, and after, sometime he comes and works a bit in the factory, picking up scraps of fabric. Anything to keep our family going.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE9XG6l2lr
You see, my father left my mother when Ben was born, and my mom is a seamstress, with Tia, which doesn't pay well.
