The Day of Reaping

I wake up this morning to find that my sister has left the bed to sleep with my mom. She has been terrified for the last few weeks. The day of reaping is the worse day of the year for anyone 12-18. 18 years is the last year of eligibility. Each and every boy and girl's name is entered as soon as they turn 12. Everybody in discrict 12 is saying their last "goodbyes" as if they were to be chosen. Guess I won't know who is chosen until today at 2:00 pm. Wish me luck. Cross your fingers. I'll tell you how it goes.
