the 70th Hunger Games

☆ ★ ✮ ★ ☆☆ ★ ✮ ★ ☆☆ ★ ✮ ★ ☆

The 70th Hunger Games had arrived.

Velvet Merrow tried to not think about the Games. Or talk about them. It caused her family too much grief.

It was in everyone's best interest to focus on making clothes in the factories and to her own business.

The day of the reaping had started like any other. Velvet woke up, finished whatever project she had fallen asleep doing the previous night, made some herbal tea, and gotten dressed to go to a event that would set her mother's mental health back five years.

The days were all the same. Over and over. Year after year. 

Every time some poor children were chosen and every time—in Velvet's memory—the children died some gruesome death in the arena.

This year though, one small thing had worried Velvet the entire morning as she went through her morning tasks. She had woken from a nightmare instead of the crowing of the birds. 

In said nightmare, she was murdered by an angel. In the dream, it hadn't looked like an angel, it was a dark and bloody demon with a scythe. But she knew it was an angel, just a fallen one.

That should have been reason enough for worry, but she didn't dare mention it to her family during the silence of the morning. 

Hours later,  Velvet's name would be called and her life would spiral. She found herself wishing her nightmare was true when contrasted to her new reality.
