2019 -Into the Future We Go
The celebration was over, except those overzealous few who stayed out, but they had crossed the line from celebrating patriot into drunken trouble maker. Still, their random hollers were soothing to Lithuania as he sat on his tiny terrace, bundled up in blankets, surveying the city. By now, most of the town was fast asleep. Lithuania let out a happy sigh, as he snuggled deeper into his blanket cocoon, watching his breath condensate in the frigid air. It was a private tradition he had, ever since he had broken free from Russia one hundred and one years ago, Lithuania would sit outside and watch the city sleep. One hundred and one years. I can't believe I did it. All that planning, sneaking around, living in fear, it was all for this; so my children can sleep in peace at night, then get up and enjoy their day.
He smiled, though only the stars could see. If he were still enough, Lithuania imagined he could hear the dreams of his people, and maybe they could here his dreams too.
Lithuania raised his near-empty glass. To the one hundred and one years; and may there be a hundred and one more.
