24th Games

This year's games were remembered for tributes spending most of their time in the arena half-naked, due to the intense heat of this underground cave.

This year's victor was Julius Galloway, age 16, from District 2. This year's games took place in Sweltering caves, featured bothersome rats, a sonic surge, and lasted for 8 days.

Within minutes of escaping the bloodbath, most tributes had removed as many clothes as their decency would allow, due to the intense heat, whilst deaths started occurring at a 'usual' rate.

Most tributes travelled as far as they could from the cornucopia and skirted the perimeter, in an effort to find an exit from the cave and escape from the rats, but to no avail. Vivian (12) was so scared and disgusted by the rats, that she deliberately slit her own throat with a stalactite.

A few days in, the game-makers wanted to bring the tributes back together, so the game-makers announced that a deafening sonic surge would be released from the cornucopia in five minutes time, and that the only way tributes could stop this sound from bursting their eardrums would to be to grab a set of ear-protectors from the cornucopia.

This plan worked and led to what was known as 'the second bloodbath', with four tributes being stabbed whilst trying to grab headphones, whilst Birch (7) and Stem (11) didn't make it back to the cornucopia in time and had what viewers described as their 'brains come out their ears'.

As the career pack tried to capture some of the other five tributes who had successfully escaped, Julius and Priscilla (2) seized the opportunity to eliminate their biggest competition and killed Gravello and Selentina (both 1) by simultaneously stabbing them through the backs of their heads.

The pair of them continually roamed through the cave and killed off their competition, before waiting until there was only one other tribute left before they turned on each other. Priscilla tried to stab Julius in the face, but he ducked, before getting Priscilla in a headlock and snapping her neck. Shortly after this, he found Bruno (8) and killed him by throwing a stalactite through his head.

Upon returning to District 2, Julius gave up fighting and spent several years living in a mountain commune within the mountains surrounding The Capitol.
