The sunset on New Year's eve
Yesterday was New Year's eve. I drove to the beach, alone... to watch the sunset. The setting sun is metaphorically sad, yet hopeful like a year-end. Another day, another year, just around the corner. I watched the kids jumping up and down with the waves, laughing gleefully; their watchful parents fencing them to keep them safe. The tides grow stronger as the night draws closer. Lifeguards went around whistling and warning people to move towards the shore.

"My boyfriend made me play Skyrim with him this year and I never though a video game could inspire me like this. So, this story is a thanks to the amazing storytellers who brought this deeply thoughtful game and story to life." -Maren KoenigsThey say as long as the Northern Lights shine and cover the skies with their shivering curtains of nacreous colours, that you’re never alone. Because there is something else out here in the frozen wilderness that is alive. But we, the people from the North, born and raised among the glaciers, we know that our privileged wonder was never an accident by natu...
