new year in futuro
“I won’t be home tonight. There’s work to do. Yeah. I get it. Bye.”
Last hour of the year, and I am in my office in Futuro. My office overlooks the Futuroplaza, where they are already preparing for the arrival of the new year.
11:57. I peel myself away from the laptop and went to the window, sipping coffee from the Styrofoam cup. The coffee has turned cold.
I can’t really hear the crowd, behind this glass. But I can read off the gigantic screen at the plaza. 5…4…3… I mouth my own countdown.
2…1…Happy New Year!!!!!!
Those words flashed on the screen, as the fireworks are set off, and everyone hugs everyone.
And so, it is a brand new year.
