Ending The Year Off With A Bang

New Year, New Me

Not really, maybe to better myself, like "Stop Procrastination" We'll see.

Anyway, a new year and a new year short story..

I stared at the city below my feet, I look up to the lit up night sky. Fireworks illuminated the top of buildings. The people down on the streets cheered and shouted as the countdown was soon to commence.

10…

9…

8…

7…

6..

5..

4..

3…

2..

1..

Pull the trigger and..

BOOM!

Shouts and screams of bloody murder echoed as explosions flew out of the tall buildings. Office compounds and apartment towers started falling to the asphalt road. I let out a chuckle that soon turned to maniacal laughter, seeing the scene before me.

Sirens of red and blue. Cries from citizens of all ages, young and old. A smirk released from my lips. Another year of ruining lives and exploding buildings left, right and center. Things just keep getting better and better for me.

Sitting on the skyscraper ledge, I took the champagne glass beside me, raising it up to congratulate my yearly success. Taking a sip and savoring the sweet flavor slowly.

“Here’s to a great year and a more wonderful one to come”

The smirk still evident on my lips

“Happy New Year everyone”
