When exactly during my long childhood of being a screw-up do you figure I had time to learn to swim?
I mean, a pool is one thing, but a lagoon with waves and tides and currents and shit, admittedly inhabited with sharks and jellyfish and sharp toxic corals and poisonous fish is another thing entirely. And that's not even taking into account the other tributes.
We used to have a nice quiet life...and now my choice is to either die on the beach fighting for a can of food or drown trying to swim for my life?
