"The forest," I blurt immediately, needing to get away from the stink of ash and burning coal. The one place untouched by the flames, other than the Victor's village and I can't go there anymore. Gale must have done something to the fence, broken it down somehow to get everyone out in time. And it won't be electrified now. Why would it? There's no one left here.

I wipe my eyes. He's already seen, so it feels useless but I don't want him to pity me, because he won't understand.

"It's behind the fence, there," the fence is just in our line of sight from the center of town, hidden by some of the leaves of the meadow. But it was unnecessary; everybody knew what the rules were.
