CHAPTER 20 ((epilogue to book 1))
For weeks, my sickness continues and everyone is frazzled by it. It won't go away! Effie tries to help me all she can, and she is trying to figure out my mysterious illness.
One day, I was going down for breakfast, and everyone stared at me and was silent. Something tells me they figured something out from the sickness.
"Effie, did you figure out anything?"
"Uh... yeah!"
"Well do you mind telling me?!"
"Well, Katniss ....... all those sympotomns point to uh ... pregnancy."
I drop my fork. Everyone stares at me, waiting for me to voice an opinion. As if right on cue, Peeta walks downstairs to join us for breakfast. He takes the empty seat next to Haymitch and notices our blank stares and silence.
"Um... good morning? Why are you all so.... quiet?" He asks, uncertain.
I begin biting my nails out of nervousness. What if I am pregnant? What if I have Peeta and I's baby living inside me right now? How would I tell him?!
"Oh ... kay? " He says, all of use still staring at him or me.
Haymitch leans over to Peeta's ear and tries to whisper something, but I can hear it across the table. Haymitch says;
"You knocked the girl up. Good going."
He has a drunk smile on his face and I look down. I can't look at Peeta. I just can't. I feel Peeta's eyes looking on my head though.
"Katniss .... Please tell me Haymitch is joking."
"I-I don't know yet. I just heard that I have all the signs of pregnancy this morning."
I still can't look at him. I hear his chair pushing out and him walking slowly over to me. I feel a kiss on the top of my head and his arms come around my neck from behind.

"I'll be alright though... I know I will. I'll be alright?" I say, uncertainly.
"I'm sorry." He whispers softly.
"Don't apologize. Please don't. It isn't your fault."
"But it is my fault. So I can say I'm sorry."
"It may be your fault, but you can't help it. So don't say you are sorry. I mean ... it's not even confirmed yet, right?"
"You might want to confirm something" Effie butts in.
Peeta lets go of my neck and lets me get up. I go to my bathroom and find a test way in the back of the cabinet. ((Don't ask me, a le random test is just in the back of her hotel's cabinet :3)) I slide it out of the box and quickly test. I look at the test with no hesitations, but I wish I had.
Positive.
I'm pregnant.

A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!
