It’s New Year’s Eve and Chad is in quarantine. His Covid-19 test came back negative the first time and he’s waiting on the next one. He doesn’t feel sick and he’s confident the test will come back negative.
With champagne in hand and the ball getting ready to drop, his dog Buddy, cuddles by the warmth of the fireplace like any other night, unaware of a new year ahead.
He watches the lonely host at Times Square shivering from the cold as he counts down. The ball drops and Chad chugs his champagne.
The next afternoon Chad’s test is positive.
