Ho Chu Minh City (Phu My), Vietnam
Note: Potentially upsetting topics such as mental illness and war are discussed in this piece.
I always joke that in a horror movie, I would be the first to die. I
would be the first to die by choice. As soon as I became aware of what was
going on, I would walk right out and demand the evil spirit take me early on. I
am not going through all the running and screaming and two-hour movie when the
ending will be the same. Just kill me now please and thank you.
Horror movies are different from reality, of course. I started reading
the Hunger Games series last summer (I’m starting the third book now), and I
wondered if my logic would be the same. In the Hunger Games, I would most
likely die, and early on I’ll bet. Would I fight for my life in this fictional
world?
Or, a more disturbing question: would I survive a war time, like that
of the Vietnam war?
