The green light hit the clock tower at 7:03 PM.
Everyone stopped looking at their phones.
Tonight wasn’t for scrolling. It was for being here.
The street was full. Lanterns, music, kids on shoulders.
The tower has been standing for decades, but it only glows like this once a year.
Lolo said it marks time.
But tonight, time didn’t matter.
We were all in the same moment.
Under the same green glow.
Together.
When the lights went out, we were still smiling.
Some things don’t need a timestamp.
time: 7:03 pm
