Unfortunately this is not an official update. Since I have changed the names of a lot of characters to make them seem more futuristic I posted this list of the original names and the new and improved ones. Hopefully they are more fitting. Some have stayed the same like Apple (well duh), Chip, and Shine while others have changed like Nick (now Dune), Jane (now Nalini) and Rita (now Amethyst).
In addition I have decided to start the story off earlier. It will start of with all the tributes alive at the Cornucopia. That means more death and violence for all you psychopaths like me! Apple, I hope, will be a deeper and more fleshed out character. I'm really hoping this version will reach its full potential so feel free to point out anything amiss in the plot.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Hunger Games.

Up Next: Chapter One
You're supposed to laugh in the face of death. Or at least stand bravely and look defiant as your body gets pierced with a spear and you choke on your own blood or a Career sends an arrow through your brain bring death and only death. You're supposed to be like those famous warriors who tear across the battle field like the Grim Reaper's henchmen.
But as I stood on my platform waiting for the anthem to be over and the bloodbath to start all I could think of is how badly I needed to pee.
