The Hunger Games
1 When I wake up, the other side of my bed is cold. My fingers stretch out, seeing Prim’s warmth but finding only the rough canvas cover of the mattress. She must have bad dreams and climbed in with our mother. Of course she did. This is the day of the reaping. Prop myself up on one elbow. There’s enough light in the bedroom to see the. My little sister, Prim, curled up on her side, cocooned in my mother’s body, their cheeks pressed together. In sleep, my mother looks younger, still worn but not so beaten-down. Prim’s face is as fresh as a raindrop, as lovely as the primrose for which she was named. My mother was very beautiful once, too. Or so they tell me. Sitting at Prim’s knees, guarding her, is the world’s ugliest cat. Mashed- in nose, half of one ear missing, eyes the colour of rotting squash. Prim named him buttercup, insisting that his muddy yellow coat matched the bright flower. He hates me. Or at least distrusts me. Even though it was years ago, I think he still remembers how I tried to drown him in a bucket when Prim bought him home. Scrawny kitten, belly swollen with worms, crawling with fleas. The last thing I needed was another mouth to feed. But Prim begged so hard, cried even, I had to let him stay. It turned out OK. My mother got rid of the vermin and he’s a born mouser. Even catches the occasional rat. Sometimes when I clean a kill, I feed buttercup the entrails. He had stopped hissing at me. Entrails. No hissing at me. This is the closest we will ever come to love. I swing my legs off the bed and slide into my hunting boots. Supple leather that has moulded to my feet. I pull on trousers, a shirt, tuck my long dark braid up into a cap, and grab my forage bag. On the table, under a wooden bowl to protect it from hungry rats and cats alike, sits a perfect little goat’s cheese wrapped in basil leaves. Prim’s gift to me on reaping day. I put the cheese carefully in my pocket as I slip outside. Our part of District 12, nicknamed the seam, is usually crawling with coal miners heading out to the morning shift this hour. Men and women with hunched shoulders, swollen knuckles, many of whom have long stopped trying to scrub the coal dust out of their broken nails and the line of their sunken faces. But today the black cinder sheets are empty. Shutters on the squat grey houses are closed. The reaping isn’t until two. May as well sleep in. If you can. Our home is almost at the edge of the Seam. I only have to pass a few gates to reach the scruffy field called the Meadow. Separating the meadow from the woods, in fact enclosing all of District 12, is a high chain-link fence topped with barbed wire loops. In theory, it’s supposed to be electrified twenty-four hours a day as a deterrent to the predicators that live in the woods – packs of wild dogs, lone cougars, bears – that used to threaten our streets. But since we’re lucky to get two or three hours of electricity in the evenings, it’s usually safe to touch. Even so, I always take a moment to listen carefully for the hum that means the fence is live. Right now, it’s silent as a stone. Concealed by a champ of bushes, I flatten out on my belly and slide under a metre-long stretch that’s been loose for years. There are several other weak spots in the fence, but this one is so close to home I always enter the woods here. As soon as I’m in the trees, I retrieve a bow and sheath of arrows from a hollow log. Electrical or not, the fence has been successful at keeping the flesh-eaters out of District 12. Thx For Rading:D |
