Explodes … “Lump lingered last in line for brains” … … Billy Joe Bob clears his throat and flicks his tail nervously as he feels the chariot start to move. They force themselves to smile as light falls onto their face. She hears thunderous applause and loud laughter, conversations, and even some boos for district 9 haters. Billy flicks his ear as he feels his smile fading. She sits up taller and fixes her smile. They had to look happy, pretty, and strong if they were going to get sponsors. He feels his bandanna tugging at his neck slightly as it blows in the wind. They look around at the hundreds of other people looking down at them. Why was everyone so happy? Didn’t they know that only one person here wouldn’t be eliminated? She flicks her tail and sits up taller, uncomfortably. They guess it’s just the fun of the game. The audience wasn’t the ones being eliminated and being forced to fight other kids. The chariot goes back into a tunnel and Billy Joe’s smile turns into a look of disgust and anger. They used to not mind the games… they’d never been chosen… “And the one she got was sort of rotten and insane”
Song is Lump by The Presidents of The United States
