MARGAUX
I slowly opened my eyes, finding myself staring at a starless sky. Wanting to change the scenery, I pulled myself away from leaning on the wall behind me and let my eyes gaze on the view of the nearby city visible from the balcony of the apartment that Mary and I shared.
A cold breeze blew by biting through the poly-cotton fabric of the windbreaker that I was wearing. I let myself shiver, watching the city that never seemed to sleep. The bright collection of lights seemed to have made up for the lack of stars up above the skies. Some lights even appeared to be blinking and changing colors every now and then.
The blinking lights reminded me of Christmas. It was only then that I realized that it was already December.
Time flew way too fast. Soon, all the streets would be bustling with Christmas songs and carolers. Everyone would be happy and end up sending smiles to each person whom they may come across, the spirit of Christmas warming their hearts.
