Hi I am Coral Zale and I am 13 years old and I am frightened because the reaping is far too close. I am a citizen of district 4 and we fish, thats what everyone does. The reason I am scared is because ever since I was younger I could not kill a thing not even a fish. So I just hope that when a name come out of the thousands that it is not mine. Our district is fourth away from the capitol and our coasts are too calm so fishing is the easiest thing ever but it seems like the scariest thing ever. It just seems so man made and fake like it is controlled and it reminds me of my life controlled. The reaping is two days away and I am shaking uncontrollably and I start to drop the fish back into the water after we catch them and I am sent home until the reaping which is even worse just waiting and waiting. A day goes by. Another day goes by until I am in line to sign in. Last year I did not have to go because I was so sick that I was on deaths door until my dad decided it was time to go to the capitol and get medicine. So this is my first year, I get into my line and theres the whole intro which I tune out and the ball spins and spins and she pulls out a name and I black out.
