I woke up with a start as the crushing light came threw the blinds in my family house in my room. The reason I woke up were that I had a bad dream about a rebel against the Capital in Panem. My family of 12 year old twin brothers and my crazy grandma fought against the Capital but we lost and I had to watch as each of my family member died. I woke when president Snow shot me in my forehead.

Today is the reaping in district 7 the lumber district. This year will be the first time they will enter the reaping. They only have 1 piece of paper in the bowl at the reaping. I'm 18 years old final year in the reaping with my name in it 50 times. I been holding a strong front face when facing my family but now hours before the reaping I break down for the last time. I cried for 20 minutes before getting ready for the reaping.

I shower while thinking the odds is not in my favor. I thought also 'my name is Rodger Dennis the breadwinner of the family'. The cold water hit my body as I wash all over my abs and hair. As I turn off the water and put on my clothes left for me by my decease dad, a blue button up shirt with a black pair of pants, my little brothers came in.
