The Quarantine Chronicles, Day 58

DAY 58: Grandpa, back in the COVID

plague of 2020, what did you do

all day? You had about 100 days

cloistered at home, with almost no

distractions or responsibilities, 
did you invent things

or come up with grand ideas 
to save us all? 

Well, let's see if I can 
remember ... we watched TV

a lot, that I remember, hours and 

hours, the news obsessively and

all those terrible shows they

used to make.
What else?

Not that much, we ate too much,

lots of sugar and salt snacks

and mostly sat on couches in

our pajamas.
You couldn't go out to eat,

so what foods did you miss?

Fast food. -- Oh, yuck.

I don't get it, you had a

unique opportunity, 100 free days

help yourself, help someone else
couldn't you do something better?

I guess we were scared and confused 

and weak, we waited and hoped

we wouldn't be the next to die.

What about living?
Sometimes we tried, but everyone was 
bored and depressed, "too depressed

to get dressed" we said, so not

much happened until we could

finally go outside again.
You mean before the second wave?
Yeah, the giant tsunami.
But didn't you know that that 

would happen? It was so obvious!
Sure, we knew, and

went out anyway.

[Now, make a movie about that
I dare you.]
