Description
A great city inhabited by great people is celebrating yet another great year. Cries of joy mix with the distant rumble of fireworks and wailing of police sirens. Someone’s eyes look staringly at the passers-by. Someone’s voice addresses them quietly. But it is not heard.
‘Have you seen this one person?’
