Somewhere between wakefulness and sleep last night—in that moment when you’re so relaxed you’re almost paralyzed—a stray thought terrified me so much that I become completely alert again.

What if Finnick Odair gets ahold of a trident while I am asleep?

I had to remind myself that with books, the plot stops happening when you stop reading. Nothing will happen to Katniss until I pick up Catching Fire again.
