Sample Entry Two: Scavenging for food is hard, but the only real complaint she has is that she always comes out of it covered in dust and dirt with pebbles embedded into her palms. It's actually not all that bad once she makes it into a game. The game is simple: to find at least six cans in under an hour. If she wins, she'll pick her favorite (corn) and eat it that same day. Usually she saves her favorites for later and goes through the grosser foods first, so it's always rewarding to not have to do that.
It's just that these days it's harder to find canned food. Maybe too many people were scavenging in this area for it and that's why nothing can be found. It really sucks. If this Corporation that keeps them trapped wants them alive, then why make them search so hard for any food? It's stupid, but it's a lot better than Carver. Any place is better than having to be at Carter's, where her dad was always taken away and she only saw him in the late night--
She closes her eyes abruptly and huddles herself close, beginning to breathe shallowly to calm herself down. It was still so hard to think about her dad. He didn't deserve to die - no one does but especially not him - and she couldn't do anything for him. She just wants him back, more than anything in the world, but he's gone. She's alone.
Sarah swallows the lump choking her throat and takes a couple deep breaths, removing her glasses to wipe her eyes of any dust and water in them. She has to be brave now. She can do it. It's just so hard sometimes. And suddenly, her game is no longer the same kind of fun it was. Mainly because it's not a game and a stupid one at that. But she still needs to eat, so she resumes collecting the cans with a huff.
