The low rumbling hum of an exhausted, old vacuum echoes in the distance along with something more harmonious and lovely. Each word passionately hangs in the air, “Quien es el hombre que la eleva a las estrellas quien de los dos la hizo sentirse más mujer…” The powerful melody of a Spanish ballad becomes my daily wake up…

Then Winston got to his feet and O’Brien took him back inside, navigating him what he assumed a series of hallways. Then he heard a door open and O’Brien said, “We’re here”.
