With my paint box at home, I can make every color imaginable. Pink. As pale as a baby’s skin. Or as deep as rhubarb. Green like spring grass. Blue that shimmers like ice on water. One time, I spent three days mixing paint until I found the right shade for sunlight on white fur. You see, I kept thinking it was yellow, but it was much more than that. Layers of all sorts of color. One by one. I haven’t figured out a rainbow yet. They come so quickly and leave so soon. I never have enough time to capture them. Just a bit of blue here or purple there. And then they fade away again. Back into the air…

Hunger Games by einlee. (L to R) Gale Hawthorne, Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark, Cinna (I thought it’s Beetee!) and Finnick Odair.
Character of the Day: Rue from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. She is the twelve-year-old tribute from District 11 who participated in the 74th annual Hunger Games. She is described as small, swift, and fast, and her ability to climb trees must have kept her alive in the beginning. She formed an alliance with Katniss Everdeen after warning the latter about a nest of tracker jackers hidden in a tree. Later in the games, she got killed when Marvel thrust a spear in her stomach.
It is said that when she was still alive, in their district, she used to worked in the orchards of District 11, singing her four note song when work was over. (art by patsie)
