United States Capitol and Air Duct Surprises
MockingJay

“All right, that’s it,” Paylor says.
Flames and heavy black smoke from the wreckage obscure our view. “Did they hit the hospital?”
“Must have,” she say grimly.
As I hurry towards the ladders at the far end or the warehouse, the sight of Messalla and one od the insects emerging from behind an air duct surprises me. I thought they’d still be hunkered down in the alley.
“They’re growing on me,” says Gale.
I scramble down the ladder. When my feet hit the ground, I find a bodyguard, Cressida, and the other insect waiting.
I expect resistance, but Cressida just waves me toward the hospital. She’s yelling, “I don’t care, Plutarch! Just give me five more minutes!” Not one to question a free pass, I take off into the street.
“Oh, no,” I whisper as I catch sight of the hospital.

Some people say they think our government is bad? Well check this out; 16 year old Katniss Everdeen is visiting a hospital to give the injured and dying people of District 8 hope. But when she is done, Capitol planes sent from President Snow attack her and her crew. Katniss and Gale shoot them down, but they find the hospital in ruins. Katniss records her own message for the capitol. MockingJay by Suzanne Collins.

“Oh, no,” I whisper as I catch sight of the hospital.
Or what used to be the hospital. I move past the wounded, past the burning plane wreck, fixated on the disaster ahead of me. People screaming, running about frantically, but unable to help. The bombs have collapsed the roof and set the building on fire, effectively trapping the patients within. A group of rescuers has assembled, trying to clear a path inside. But I already know what they will find. If the crushing debris and the flames didn’t get them, the smoke did. Gale’s at my shoulder. The fact that he does nothing only confirms my suspicions. Miners don’t abandon an accident until its hopeless. “Come on, Katniss. Haymitch says they can get a hovercraft in for us now,” he tells me, but I cant seem to

    I lost track of time, but all I knew was that the daylight was disappearing. After taking the back roads we had finally approached the Wirraree hospital. The town was awfully quiet, so quiet that I could hear my pounding heart out in the open, making me fall in to great suspicion that I was in some sort of trap ready to be captured. Corrie and I were still in the car with the engine running. I didn’t want to get out just yet, unsure of why, but I knew there was soon to be a reason. Turning my head, I noticed three large security cameras in view. Without thinking clearly, I immediately swerved out of sight into a small dark alleyway not knowing it had a dead end. We hid in there for a few minutes, so I could swiftly think about how I could get Corrie out of the car and safely into the hospital without being seen. Before I really even had a minute to consider my…

    i must have bang my head hard against the ground. I grab my head and notice that I'm bleeding from the side. As I get up I realize that I’m the only person in sight. I sit down for a minute trying to make sense of everything that has happened. I remember that the patient 314 has escaped. I also remember the shouting and the running. Scared from that memory, I focus on how I'm suppose to get out this abandoned mental institution. I head for the hallway and walk towards a huge map on a T.V. that directs you to the only available exit opened in this event. It read GARAGE. So i had to make a plan. Since I was on the 7th floor and I needed to get to the garage which was located under the 1st floor. I headed to the elevators, but seemed to be shut off so I had no other choice but to take the…

    Many people died in the explosion, and many more were injured. There were so many people that were injured, that the hospitals were overcrowded and the Red Cross had to put up field stations to help the injured. As Wanda Lou Baker wrote in Past Stories, many of the injured were put on the lawn. The people would always have a disability, mentally or physically, that would be with them the rest of their life. Many people did not live to see another day in their life.…

    Over the long hot summer I read an interesting book written by Suzanne Collins called The Hunger Games. It is an inspirational book about a small district in the post-apocalyptic nation of Panem in North America. The Hunger Games is an annual lottery in which one boy and one girl aged 12–18 from each of the twelve districts are selected to compete in a live televised battle to the death. This is an underdog story of Katniss Everdeen who is from district 12 a coal-mining district that is the poorest and least populated district. She is able to come out victorious and find her love Peeta Mellark who is also from district 12. This story shows people our age that even through adversity if you work hard enough you can do anything you want to.…

    Those above 99 say they saw the plane hit, fire is hitting the windows from the floors below, and the stairways are blocked by flame. 8:55. We hear screams in the stairwell, workers from floor 91 are flying down the stairs…burned, ladies with hair on fire, and men with charred faces. Chaos reigns in the after effect, people screaming and crying, confused and worried, most of all afraid. 8:57. I feel hands tugging at my arms, urging me to leave the floor, yet my eyes are glued to the tawny haired woman, with her face burned, shrapnel in her stomach, and her eyes forever closed, it’s a…

    On September 11, 2001 the unthinkable happened. It all started as an ordinary day, but soon matters took a turn for the worse. At the World Trade Center in New York City hijacked planes stroke into the two twin towers. In shock, no one at the scene had any idea on how to react or more importantly, how to help others stranded in the smoke filled buildings. That day strangers helped strangers escape the wrath of the spreading fire and smoke. However, the top half of the buildings were different. There was a giant crater in the sides of the buildings that merely separated the two halfs. Sadly, people on the top had little to no surviving. Since, their only choice was to stay in the smoke filled rooms some people jumped out of a possible 110…

    I was drifting off to sleep while listening to the summer night’s breeze, rustling the leaves on the oak, outside my window. It was peaceful, dreamy, and most of all, safe. I was almost asleep when a loud buzzing sound filled my ear. A disturbing annoyance cancelled all my thoughts of sleep, and it disturbed all the peace. Buzzzzzzzz... buzzzzzzzz... buzzzzzzz. Only a mosquito can make that sound. “How did it get in here?” I thought. Buzzzzz... buzzzzzzz. Then I saw it! It was clinging to the wall like super glue, waiting for me to just smack it. “On the count of three, I’m going to kill it. One… two… THREE!” SWAT! SWAP! SMACK! SWIPE! Ah, at last! Finally, I had put that little bug out of its misery—and out of mine. And I guess I’ll just clean it up (along with the broken lamp) in the morning…

    Bang! There is no escape from the explosion. How do the leaders of the western world, who seem to have a brain the size of a pea, think that the right way to stop to stop those atrocious acts happening outside is by bombing our country to pieces; anyway thinking about that right now won’t help. I need to get out. I need to stop cowering in the corner of what used to look like a normal teenage girls bedroom; I can still see half a supernatural poster on the wall but that is all that is left. I need to stand up and run. I need to go.The moment I stand up, The standard stench of blood penetrates my nostrils. The furthest I get is under the doorway of the room that used to be my room. I hear the last bang the loudest bang. Everything that used…

    An ambulance drove past the window, the sudden, piercing siren causing Ryuuji to jump. The deafening siren cut off abruptly, as if stifled. Only the revolving red light remained; its flashes dragging Ryuuji's and Taiga's silhouettes across the linoleum floor. It seemed like the attached emergency department of the University Hospital was busier than ever, even on weeknights.…
