i have not read 'hunger games' but i saw the first movie and since MK star Daniel Bernhardt has a cameo- i will be first in line to see then 2nd movie.

but wow, district 9, in both the first movie (when the competition consisted of randomly chosen children) and the 2nd movie where the competition consisted of former winners- district 9 looses BOTH reps on the FIRST day.

the odd thing-in order to have "former champions" in the 2nd movie dist 9 must have done well at some point.

anyway since dist 9 tributes/former winners die early in both competitions there is no real character info on them so i thought i would write a mini fan fic about Daniel Bernhardt's character (i have a feeling he will not actually be this "depressing" in the movie....)

Josiah Martin was just 16 when he won, now at age 42 that seemed a life time ago.

When Josiah won, he was not heralded as a hero or even a favorite- in fact the majority of people considered his victory to be dumb luck. He was not skilled or well trained, in fact he nearly died on several occasions. Perhaps it was pure luck that the top contenders managed to die off first.

He was only a child then- that is what he tells himself to calm the nightmares. He knew every face of every victim he killed or witnessed; not tributes- victims.

After his victory tour he returned to district 9 to live out his life as a farmer, abet with a larger plot of land then average. He married his childhood sweetheart; his best friend, the only person willing to stay by his side through physiological 'episodes'. Although she could not bear him a child, she managed all aspects of the farm and fields.

But more importantly, she gave comfort to Josiah's scarred body and soul.

Some people wondered why her husband would place such a burden on her, but she would reply that she lived only to love and support him; for all he had lived through he deserved at least that much.

As one of the few former winners from District 9, he was supposed to train the next generation of tributes, so that they might honor their district with a victory as well. He took on the mentor position only once-- then after witnessing his students die horrifically mere hours in to the competition he vowed to never take the mentor job ever again.

Upon returning home he went out in to his fields and attempted to kill himself with a large knife.

This made a case for "mental instability" and since there were other living winners from dict 9, he was allowed to live his life un-bothered. until the "all star" event.
