    Summary

    She was willing to let a laugh slip through her teeth in response to my joke. The only one unafraid, even when nobody backed her up. I knew from that moment that she was a real one. The one person brave enough, interested enough to talk to me after the teacher cut me up. We were out of place together – we always were. A dark room with the quiet shutter of the film – and somnolent classmates. That’s where we swapped words about my joke that wasn’t funny, but smart. I know her – light and warm - anywhere she smiles would be.

    When you know, you know. I could still hear him though, ‘Not quite there yet, nephew. You gotta play the game right.’

    I know that too. He would say to me that the bag was being fumbled. And at this point, I don’t know which of the two of us is fumbling it – the girl struggling to share her secrets or the boy willing to give her as many turns as it took. Forever if it came to that.

    I want her to know for a minute that she could let that breath out.

    Cuz I see her holding it.

    I see her glossed over eyes, baring her teeth, saying nothing with all those words she’s trying to distract us all with…

    Gwen could fool the world if she wanted to, but she’d never get that past me.

    Summary

    No one is rich in Twelve.

    It’s not a little-known fact. Work is scarce, almost as scarce as fair wages. Men, women, and children starve in the street every day. You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone but the mayor with more than a few dollars’ worth of pocket change to their name, not even enough to cover that night’s dinner.

    Which is why as Kaz Brekker limps past the sorry son-of-a-bitch, he makes sure to swipe about ten times that amount from the money clip in his coat.

    ——

    Or, the done-to-death Hunger Games au.

    A Quarter Quell, the promise of a brand new Gamemaker, and of course, a batch of unforgettable contestants will make The Seventy-Fifth Annual Hunger Games a spectacle to remember.

    Summary

    “I’ve never heard of that. What is it? A book?” Wilbur asked.

    “No, god no. You’d never catch me reading a book.” Puffy laughed and shook her head. “It’s an American movie from the 1950s. I think it’s a musical in technical terms. There were some problems with the movie itself, but a popular song came from it that just. . .I guess it just reminded me of this.”

    He looked up beyond the brim of the umbrella at the gloomy clouds. “Must’ve been a pretty sad movie.”

    “Some parts.” She agreed, lifting her free hand into the wall of water. “But that’s what makes it exciting, you can’t be happy all the time. If everything is happy then nothing is happy, so you lose that good feeling whenever you get it.”

     

    Or: Wilbur travels across a post-apocalyptic Europe in attempt to find his little brother, Tommy. Risk, empowerment, and grief coils alongside his journey. He travels, and with that, he learns what exactly it means to be a survivor.
