Drabbletag 5 - wishing well
Katniss stands at a well and looks at the fancy statue in the middle holding an even fancier vessel that pours a steady stream of crystal clear water into the basin. Again she can just stare at the decadence this well stands for … she’s sure nobody could still drink from that water; and surely nobody ever bathed in it. When she takes a closer look she notices shining dots on the ground of the basin.
She bends over and frowns when she realizes that there is real money in there!
“What is this?” she asks herself and is startled when an actual answer is given.
“It’s a wishing well.”
Katniss turns to the other girl and narrows her eyes when she sees the female tribute from disctrict 2, Clove. She looks all the career tribute she is with an expensive outfit and her perfect hair and makeup; but to be true Katniss could also be a career after the treatment of the stylists.
“A wishing well?”
“Yeah. You see”, Clove continues to explain and shows Katniss a coin in her hand, “people throw money into a well and wish for something. It’s supposed to come true.”
“That’s stupid.” Katniss is not used to meaningless things like this. If she had money she would spent it on food, not on wishes.
“You think so? Oh well,” Clove smiles and thrusts the coin into the other girl’s hand. “Make a wish on me then,” she says, winks intimately and walks away.
