No cars are roaming the streets or a person in sight. All of the stores are closed. The nearby neighbors are sound asleep. The sidewalks are filled with trash.

We wandered from the restaurant to the square, passing live music, food trucks, and a bunch of older ladies doing Zumba under the string lights. At 8, we watched the fountain light show. The music was dramatic, the water jets lit up, and at least three couples were spinning in slow motion for Instagram. It was only 9 PM... "Wanna try the ring toss?" "Ice cream's on me." "How about one of those bubble guns that light up? I bet you never had the sparkly kind." Sebastian played along, obviously aware I was stalling. And he let me. Until 10:30.

Benson looked forward to this time of year. It was the coldest month in Los Angeles. In December, he always had the best fun of the year. There were fewer people in the city at the time, and traffic was less congested. His life was made easier because people didn't know him because of way he would dressed, so he didn't have to be as reluctant as he typically would be. His nocturnal actions become more intense. During the occasional winter that comes the normally hot metropolis, he goes clubbing more.

"That is what friends are for, right?" Lydia could not sleep. She was in bed fully dressed under her covers, watching the minutes crawl by on her phone. 11:17. 11:42. 12.08. The sound of laughter and music from the common room gradually faded as her hall mates went to their rooms. By 1 AM, the dorm had finally fallen silent. This was it for her.
