Background Information:
In a world where the poor are being hunted for sport, the rich and powerful use this annual event to distract the masses from the problems that have risen in the world. Distracting them from hunger, poverty and the rising pile of bodies on their doorstep. They use this event to ensure that the labourers keep labouring, that the workers keep working and to prevent questions from being asked. Because why would anyone have time to ask questions when there are more pressing matters to worry about?
The undesirables, a group of lower class civilians categorised against their will due to extreme debt, low levels of education and their lack of contribution to society. People from this class are picked at random and are entered into the hunt. To survive, they must escape and avoid being hunted, if successful, the winners win a life changing amount of prize money and are able to simply return to their usual lives.
Pristine aristocrats and egotistical leaders say that the games are here to encourage the people under their care, to motivate, to inspire them. Using the, “undesirables” as an example of what will happen if you don’t listen, if you don’t work, if you don’t obey. They say they care, they say they’ll share. Empty promises and policies fill the air. With only a map to the exit and a bag of supplies between them, both the listener and speaker wake up in an unknown environment with nothing but each other to escape from being hunted.
At least they have each other in this God forsaken world…
This was inspired by the movie, ‘The hunt’, combined with a little flare from the ‘The hunger games’. I imagine the speaker to sound like Finnick Odair from the Hunger games, a soft British accent if you will.
