Me: Hello, I’m your host, Daniel, and welcome to the interview with the well-known 2013. Of course, tonight’s his last night before he croaks, er, like a healthy young frog.
2013: I’m going to be reduced to some hazy bits of memories in only about four hours.
Me: Well, well. Looks who sees the glass half-full. That’s pretty much what you were most of this year. Look on WordPress under the tag 2014 and some people wrote some unflattering things about you. Sorry to say, but you weren’t that great of a year to begin with.
2013: Wait, what do you based your assumption on?
Me: A fact actually…the fact that you’re a prime number.
2013: What does that have to do with anything?
Me: You’re a stubborn year that can’t be neatly divided by any pleasant number, like two, four, or even five.
2013: Well what about 2011?
Me: I like eleven, it’s a nice number. Two beautiful parallel lines. But thirteen? You really need some PR help to get people to like you. I don’t think it helps that you have a black cat and live under a ladder. You could also lose the fat on those two bumps if you want to be beautiful like eleven.
2013: What the…what’s wrong with having a black cat and live under a ladder? (And I like my figure as it is.)
Me: You are guilty (and superstitious) by association.
2013: You’re being absurd.
Me: Prime numbers are absurd. And it’s even more sad that…you’re past your prime.
[Beat]
2013: Really?
Me: Pun justified by the fact how true it is. Any last thoughts you would like to say?
2013: I’m proud to be a prime number.
Me: Sure, okay, whatever you say. Anyways get off the chair. You’re taking up too much blogtime.
2013: What, wait a minute-
[2013 is being manhandled and pulled off stage by two burly alphabets, A and Z.]
Me: So long 2013. May you live in our deep recesses of our minds and scrapbooks. And now let’s welcome 2014 onto the stage.
[A figure walks in.]
Me: What the…you’re not supposed to be here yet!
2020: I can’t help myself because every time you reflect on the past year, hindsight is always vibrant. Well, see you personally in six years!
