It’s New Year’s Eve.
Cue the colorful ads all around the neighborhood, on park benches and random building pillars, and the commercials of that big city countdown in the middle of town. Cold winter snowflakes still on palms of those trudging through the layers of snow on the streets. The day stretches into the night as half the city prepares for that special midnight moment. Lipsticks applied and makeup spilled, dresses snatched from the stores and shoes grabbed from their shelves. As the hour draws near, everyone is gathered, waiting for the party to begin.
Lights are turned up, adrenaline is rushed, people are hyped and lives are being restored in their dead bodies.
Cheerful voices of the hosts fill the air, and a band plays in the background. Instruments contributing to the life of the party.
11:59 P.M.
Timers are set and cameras are ready.

1!
Sky flowers cover the stars in a burst of sparks, and the sound of cameras snapping photos can be heard among the crying and screaming.
Lips are locked, embraces are warm and photos are Instragram-ed.
The night is young and hearts are joyful.
Such is the beauty of this one night.
