9 District 34 (1/2)

In the middle of the night of District 34, a restless boy was walking down the hallway while playing with his tiny hands. 'What am I gonna do now? Those idiots will surely kill me. District Call is happening now very soon.'

He was in a dire situation that involves his life. But no matter how hard he thinks, he can't come up with a solution to solve it.

As the boy was in his deep thought, he felt something hard on his feet. With the boy's curiosity, he looked below him and suddenly, his mouth fell wide open. ”Ihhh!!”

The boy backed off in confusion. His hands were trembling. In front of him, a naked man was lying on the dirty ground. Besides him, there was a small girl with golden long hair.

”I-m sorry! I'm not paying attention! Please don't kill me!” The young boy pleaded while kneeling on the dirty ground. He closes his eyes in fear.

The young boy felt eternity has passed as he waits for the naked man's response. His knees were shaking and souring.

He gulped his saliva and open up his eyes. He saw that the two did not move even an inch. ”Are they dead?” The young boy's expression became grim.

Then, the young boy noticed a slight movement coming from the hands of the naked man.

A few seconds later, the naked man opened up his eyes. He stretched out his hands like reaching the heavens and asked, ”Where am I?”

The young boy was startled. He stood up and hurriedly replied, ”this is - this is District 34.”

The naked man was shocked as he heard a young voice on his side. He turned his head and there he saw a young boy with a black wavy hair. His clothes were tattered and full of dirt.

”Who are you?” The naked man asked in confusion.

The young boy felt his hands sweating as the naked man looked at him seriously. He bowed his head and answered, ”My name is Winston.”

Looking at Winston, the naked man smiled. He notices his trembling feet and smiled, ”I see. Nice meeting you, Winston. Don't be afraid. I'm not going to hurt you.”

Hearing the naked man's words, Winston sighted in relief. He thought he will kill him.

”Thank you so much!” Winston bowed and thanked the naked man again.

”If you don't mind, can you help me?”

”Yes, no problem!” Winston hurriedly ran and helped the naked man lying on the dirty ground.

”Thank you, Winston. You save me there.” The naked man patted Winston's head with a smile on his face.

Steadily, the naked man was able stood up with the help of Winston.
