Endings and beginnings (Friday Fictioneers)
Darkness falls quickly.
On the last night of the year a silence could be felt that was unusual in its intensity. No drunken screams, no shouts or cheers. Just silence. Waiting, breathless, hopeless. A countdown of shadows and death.
As the ball falls, lights flash and heat bursting colorful explosions fill the air. As one we breathe in and release a huge sigh. It’s over.
Chatter begins. Simple soft words filled with emotion and sentiment travel the airwaves. Love is a feeling of warmth. We smile at one another. A new year begins. A new dawn. A new hope…
FUCK YOU 2016
May the force be with you.
