I'm thrown backward to the ground, body useless, paralyzed, eyes frozen wide, as feathery bits of matter rain down on me. My eyes strain to capture one last image of beauty to take with me. Everything seems to erupt at once. The earth explodes into showers of dirt and plant matter. Even the sky fills with brightly colored blossoms of light.”

I let the arrow fly, see it hit its mark and vanish, pulling the thread of gold behind it. A flash of white runs up the wire, and for just a moment, the dome bursts into a dazzling blue light. I'm thrown backward to the ground, body useless, paralyzed, eyes frozen wide, as feathery bits of matter rain down on me. My eyes strain to capture one last image of beauty to take with me. Everything seems to erupt at once. The earth explodes into showers of dirt and plant matter. Even the sky fills with brightly colored blossoms of light.

Will there be a victor of the Seventy-fifth Hunger Games? Maybe not.”
