The Thirsty Games: a Hunger Games Parody
Summary:
Our sixty second countdown has rounded down to the tens. A voice comes onto an intercom to relay the counts to us. Ten. I position myself to dive into the steadily rising water. Nine. I can see you have done the same. Eight. The water is nearly lapping at my feet. Seven. I’m getting a little bored. Sure, the intensity of the countdown sends adrenaline shooting through me, but a countdown from five would have done just the same. I’m busy complaining for the seven to four counts. Hearing the three snaps me out of it. Three. I glance over at you and you’re gesturing angrily at me. I interpret it as “Ginger! You idiot! Focus!”
