    Summary

    “Sheen!” He shouts. That is not a warrior. That is not somebody that Jimmy can watch on the television and place bets on with his parents and empathetically coo at when they get pierced through the lungs. “Wait!”

    Jimmy knows that the boy who stands in front of the crowd is his friend. He knows that the boy who stands in front of the crowd is wearing a dress shirt that came from Jimmy’s closet because he had completely forgotten about the Reaping Ceremony. He knows that the boy who stands in front of him is the third fastest runner in the sixth grade because he had thought that the faster he ran the more girls would like him. Jimmy knows that the boy that stands in front of him is alive and there and breathing.

    Jimmy knows that if he doesn’t do anything, he will not know that boy for much longer.

    “I volunteer!” He shouts, surprising even himself. “I volunteer as tribute.”
