New Year Countdown to 2018
As suggested in last year's countdown, we have another hourly story to help ring in the New Year, but with Shakrit and Woonsen as the characters!
Shakrit has just returned from the store with all of the New Year party supplies anyone could ask for, from sparkling water to blackeye-peas. He knocks on the door and yells "Woonsen, I'm home!" After a minute of no response, Shakrit begins to worry. He realizes that his wife is missing AND he's not going to be able to watch the countdown to the new year!
USA: 12 hours left
UK: 7 hours left
Stay tuned for the next part of the story!!

Re: New Year Countdown to 2018
At this point, Shakrit thought it best to look for an open window or unlocked door, so that he could alert the police of the princess’s kidnapping. But all windows were shut and all doors were locked. Would he have to break a window?

Re: New Year Countdown to 2018
He was just getting ready to smash his window when he saw his neighbor Plakung step outside his house to walk his dog. He explained the situation to Plakung, who welcomed Shakrit into his house to report the kidnapping. Shakrit steps inside but can’t find Plakung’s phone.

Re: New Year Countdown to 2018
Shakrit spent the next 80 minutes looking for the phone (which is why this entry is 20 minutes late ), and then realizes that Plakung should be back by now. Then Shakrit gets a concerning thought...
USA: 9 hours

Re: New Year Countdown to 2018
..Could Plakung have gone the way of Woonsen and vanished as well? It was then he realized that the culprit for the kidnappings could've also taken the phone away. With this though, he races over to his other neighbor's house, Fern. He knocks on Fern's door and Fern answers in English "Why are you here?". Shakrit does not understand and asks Fern to speak in Thai. He explains the situation and Fern offers the use of her house phone.
USA: 8 hours
UK: 3 hours

Re: New Year Countdown to 2018
Strangely, Shakrit could not find Fern’s phone either. “Where do you keep your house phone?” asked Shakrit. After this he abruptly paused, realizing that Fern wasn’t near him anymore. Then Shakrit realized that she was missing too. Shakrit began to panic at yet another disappearance

Re: New Year Countdown to 2018
Shakrit was upset. He’d hoped to ring in the new year by spending time with his wife and friends, but instead he was out looking for them and hoping that they had any time left! Shakrit then realized that time was wasting and he’d have to put the pity-party on-gold. He gave himself a motivation speech and yelled “LUI!!” He was off!
US of A: 6 hours left
UK: Only one hour left before the new year!

Re: New Year Countdown to 2018
Shakrit renews his efforts by doing what he started to do earlier in the afternoon - breaking his window. He gets inside, expecting to see a huge mess, but he sees no sign of struggle at all! Shakrit is perplexed and has no idea where the princess and his friends could be.
USA: 5 hours
And a very happy New Year to the UK!! Hope you all across the pond have a great year

Re: New Year Countdown to 2018
Shakrit then had the thought that Takeshi probably had something to do with his friends' absences. With this in mind, he ran the five miles from his apartment to the castle. He crossed the drawbridge with no idea what to expect!
USA: 4 hours left
We're getting very close to that time again!!

Re: New Year Countdown to 2018
Once inside the castle he finds Woonsen and Plakung calling him over in panicked voices. “What’s wrong?” he asks as he makes his way over to the group. At first the group doesn’t respond, which worries Shakrit.
Now we only have three hours until the new year - and more importantly the exciting conclusion of our New Year Eve tale!
