New Year's Day, 2016

This electronic card is the only acknowledgement the Complete and Total Loser got from anyone that it is New Year's Day and someone is wishing him well. The card came from a telephone number the Loser is unfamiliar with, which made him hesitate to open it. He did and email the sender his thanks, noting that he had no idea who she, presumably, is. 
The Loser hasn't heard back yet.

A New Year

The years go so fast. Then you look at how many you've lived and it's such a small number. The total number is tiny and the number at the end, the number which shrivels and kills, is smaller still. Yet we live as if the supply of time is indefinite, which it is, of course, but not for us. Time is bottomless only for itself.
