Flash Tales, Week Ten: “Ring in the New”

New Year’s 2009: Sydney, Australia
PROMPT: I hope everyone has had a great holiday season! As we hasten towards the last of the winter celebrations (everyone in the Southern Hemisphere ignore that last bit), I want to know what you think New Year’s Eve a hundred years from now might bring. Your story can be broad, telling a story of a high-tech global civilization undergoing some dramatic transformation, or a character-based story focused on one or two people taking part in the New Year festivities. Whatever direction you choose to take us, let your story tell us what you think New Year’s Eve 2115 might look like.
