. . . A cat waiting for the Reaping. Family members at his side. First name drawn. Macaroni, that's his name. Mother cries. Father screeches. Ignore. One paw in front of the other. Face the crowd, familiar faces showing shock. Smile proudly. Fake it 'til you make it after all. More names are drawn. Much grief. Still smiling. Meanwhile, paws are trembling. Fur is struggling to spike. Tears threaten to spring from eyes. Heart beats fast. Keep paws still. Keep fur flat. Blink the tears away. Take deep breaths. Don't let your fear show. . . . Music is Panic from Oneshot Art by me
