Title: Loss
Fandom: The Hunger Games
Rating: G
Length: 100
Warning: None.
Summary: It is better to pretend to be okay.
Notes: Also written for [livejournal.com profile] writerverse Challenge #14: Weekly Quick Fic #5



My chest hurts the moment I see it. It’s the image of a bakery full of life and warmth that stings my eyes; it’s the image of my father teaching me how to mix dough that chokes me. It’s an assault of memories, some good, some bad, but they all hurt.

Real.

As I step through the rubble, my foot catches on something. Cautiously, I pick it up. It’s an antique doll, one that my mother loved. I leave it as I collect the other items to remember my family.

I don’t want anyone to know how much I hurt.

These are both fabulous. I love the ambiguity in the second piece and also the evocation of the past in each. Amazing what you did with only 100 words.

OUCH, RIGHT IN THE FEELS!!!! Sadly enough, I can see my husband feeling some of this as well, and yet with the holiday, his family just decided to take a major crap on him yet again... At least Peeta's had no choice in leaving him (being killed), but they're both still so crushed... Sorry to bore with you RL drivel. It's just this really hit home tonight...
