"We were smart, just like Mommy taught us." As the evening grew darker, Miguel continued his journey through the city, a small figure moving with purpose through streets that had never seemed so dangerous. His legs were tired, his stomach growled with hunger, but the red dot on the screen was getting closer. The pier was within reach. "Almost there," he told Mr. Growls, his voice tight with exhaustion but tinged with hope. "Almost safe." A clock on a nearby building showed that it was almost 10 PM.

Nathan pulled me close shortly after. “Careful,” I warned, though I was smiling. “Always,” he replied. We moved slowly, gently, wrapped in the warmth of the moment. Around us, everything felt… right. Like life had finally chosen to be kind. As midnight approached, someone called out……. “Ten minutes to New Year!” The room buzzed with excitement. Glasses were filled. Voices grew louder.

The glee of what tomorrow holds for me is throbbing with rebounds in my heart, shaking its walls, but I am doing everything I possibly can to suppress the tickling thrills. It's almost one after midnight. In a few hours, doom will occlude the evil, and the good will shine bright.

his hand intertwining with mine as he led us away from the scene. As we bid goodnight to everyone, the realization struck us – it was well past 11 o'clock, and my dormitory had a strict policy of closing its doors at 10:30.
