Happy New Year

The Countdown is happening
He’s excited
Sits down on the chair
Turns on the tv
Goes to the news
 
10. The countdown begins
9. They move closer
8. The Crystal Ball drops lower 
7. They move even closer
6. Eyes are turning pink and red
5. Shouts are heard now
4. Begin to kiss
3. The ball is lower and lower than before
2. They’re getting ready to scream

The lights turn off... 
Hears breathing
behind him
said

"1... 
Happy new year..."
