I was striding across the light layer of snow on the ground, with a plastic "Family Mart" bag with hardly anything visible, other than a few water bottles, in it. A few flakes of snow began to fall from the star-scattered sky, and the streets were filled with a faint buzzing sound and a group of drunk high-schoolers laughing. I should really get those people arrested.
I glided up a few stairs, up to my rented room, to meet a empty cardboard box. Shoving it aside, I entered my small two-room house. The ceiling had a few stains and the walls had a few, or rather, a few hundred pin-sized holes. Clicking the POWER button on my bulky, black, and out-dated remote, I bent down and laid back on the spring-less couch to watch TV. The screen flashed and went back off, followed by me spam-clicking the power button while dropping my head onto the couch, bought at a garage sale.
After about 300 clicks, the TV came on, and the normal news channel came up. I went to the small kitchen behind me and began to set up dinner, which technically was a cracker, some gum to chew on, and a glass of water. I KNOW, my allowance from home isn't that much, and its only enough to pay the rent.
Pulling off the crimson-wrapping of the strawberry gum, I carefully chewed the "everlasting" flavor out of the gum, while watching the Prime Minister come up to the podium on the screen. Camera flashes covered his face as he waved before his big speech on the "End of The World" and what scientists hypothesised would happen
"Citizens of Academy City....We are here today to unveil what our researchers have discovered..."
Yeah, right, its going to be one of those "don't worry" things.
"..We, at the newly developed research center of Acedemy city...have hypothesised what will happen on the so called day the world will end..."
Great, its a hypothesis.
" We are proud to announce..."
Don't be so full of yourself
"that on December 21, 2012..."
Get to the point!
"...the second Renaissance will begin!"
A fog of uncertainty and questions filled the many reporters and TV crews, as well as those viewing it live. One brave reporter was able to manage to say a question.
"What's the 'Second Renaissance'?"
The Prime Minister motioned toward a person behind him, who came up to the podium, as the Prime minister stepped to the side.
"I am the Cheif of the Human Research and Geology departments..."
Wow, how does a guy get to be chief of 2 departments?
"The 'Second Renaissance' is a codename to the time period after 2012 until the next era. Renaissance means, as everyone knows, 'Rebirth' and the theories from the Geology, Astronomy, and Human Research about the day December 21, tomorrow, lead us to believe..."
Is this supposed to be dramatic?
"...that the correct affect of all that will go on tomorrow, will lead to..."
"...extra sensory powers."
what?

Extra Sensory Powers, ESP?
I thought the Earth was supposed to flip upside-down or somthing.
