「
PANEM ONCE HAD
13 DISTRICTS
AND ONE CAPITOL.
AFTER THE UPRISING
OF THE DISTRICTS,
THE DARK DAYS FOLLOWED
AND DISTRICT 13
WAS DESTROYED.
THE OTHER 12 DISTRICTS
HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN
THE ANNUAL HUNGER GAMES
AS PUNISHMENT.
ONE GIRL AND ONE BOY FROM EACH DISTRICT
WILL SERVE AS TRIBUTES
AND FIGHT TO DEATH.
THE LAST STANDING TRIBUTE
WILL BE CROWNED
AS THE WINNER.
MAY THE ODDS
BE EVER IN
YOUR FAVOR
BUT
THEY
NEVER
ARE.
