Take My Hand
Chapter One
31st December, 1999
Everyone is running amuck around the house. My mother is busily decorating the dining area with paper streamers and cellophane while my dad gets all the food ready for tonight. The atmosphere around everyone is abundant with excitement for the New Year but very eager to see what happens. There are a lot of speculations about the Y2K problems. I honestly don’t think much will happen, but no matter what, people will believe what they want to believe however far fetched an idea is.
I suppose I’m a little nervous as to what is going to happen, but I’m not telling my sister that. She’s completely all for the crisis idea. She’s part of the majority of humans that thrive on the drama of everything. I’m beginning to think there’s something not quite right about the whole thing, but who am I to say? And what person in their right mind would listen to a 13-year-old about something that’s ‘above me’?
One day that will change. I know for certain that one day, the world will be different.
