As I waited to say goodbye to my mom, I wondered how I would die.  I figured that I would run to the cornicopia, get a knife in my back, and suffer for a week then die.  Then the rebel soldiers let in my mother, who immediately had a mental breakdown. This made me forget my hopeless thinking.  She made me promise that I wouldn't die and leave her all alone.  After the two minutes allowed for goodbyes, the soldiers flooded in, dragging out my mother.Before they slammed the door I screamed "Goodbye, Mom!"

After I thought about it, I discovered that I was predicting my fate.
