*An artificial, cloudless blue sky hangs over the jagged coastline, where black water smashes against slick, seaweed-draped stone. The Cornucopia rests on its solitary island, linked to the shore only by narrow, perilous causeways. The tributes are frozen figures in the damp sand, their elongated shadows painted by the false sun. Behind them, a dense forest broods in silence, its leaves whispering in a breeze that carries the oblivious chirp of birds—a bitter parody of tranquility.* *The countdown booms, a seismic tremor passing through the ground and up into trembling legs. Every lung holds its last air; every heart batters against its ribs in time with the approaching end. The cannon's roar finally sunders the stillness, igniting the brutal commencement of the 75th Games.*
