New Year's Eve on the beach, black as the never ending space. The beach spread around the verge of the city consummately blending with the rocks and boardwalk, Dazzling glistening water reflecting from the bright full moon. 11:57pm, it was about to be 2020. I felt the clock ticking in my head counting down the seconds, I already had my resolution... Take risks. I stood up, looking around the beach at the lines of people on blankets. Couples sharing a romantic kiss in the moonlight. Most of the families, parents sharing a bottle of wine and the kids being spastics, going skits and running round like crazy. I looked at my watch, 11:59 , and I looked at up in the sky and the countdown starts, 10.. 9.. 8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1... I look around for the fireworks, bewildered but all I see is a light in the distance. I squint and see a light that looks like a muffin. I laughed but shock hits me as the whole town's lights go out. I stood surrounded by cold darkness and stale, dusty air. Babies cry, children scream, it's utterly pandemonium. I hold my little sister Ruth. “everything is grand.”
