“What a terrible era in which idiots govern the blind.” - William Shakespeare … … … Billy stands in the line, with everyone else. He was a good kid! They helped her family and he even tutored kids. She never spoke out against the capital. He didn’t need punishment, so when their name was called, they were surprised. He heard her grandma gasp and mother and father cry. But they didn’t cry. She didn’t even look back at his family as he walked up to the platform and stood next to the others who were reaped. She didn’t want them to be sad. He would be brave for them. For herself. Unfortunately they couldn’t keep themself from looking at their grandma. Her grandma looked up at him with a frown, Billy Joe feels himself tear up. She wasn’t going to cry. Their grandma believed in him. She had to win for her. … … … “Never say goodbye, because goodbye means going away, and going away means forgetting.” - Peter Pan
