“When the shells hit the zoo five-hundred exotic species spurted like awkward pollen and scattered all across the tan streets and plumbing-covered roofs of Baghdad. The leopards ran for the Tigris. An elephant wandered into the middle of the intersection where I sat in the turret of a Bradley Fighting Vehicle, praying to the satellite gods to show me the way to a checkpoint that appeared on the intel photo but didn’t seem to exist in reality. Getting lost had been my greatest fear since leaving Kuwait.”
— “Third Order Effects,” a piece by James Stegall (Read the rest of it on the Necessary Fiction site, here)

Oh, thou jest-est. Or whatever.
The setting is England, in the self-doesn’t-know-what century.
Peeta has just been called up to Oxford, while Katniss and Prim remain in Winchester.
KATNISS
My aunt and uncle wish to take Prim and I to Newcastle.
PEETA
To Newcastle? My God, why not to Shanghai?
KATNISS
Please, do not jest.
PEETA
And you wish to give Prim the opportunity to have a London season?
KATNISS
I do (I could not doom my sister’s future by being selfish enough to go after my own heart’s desires.)
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
