“Today marks the 16th day I haven’t left my house – except for the one time I went out to take groceries to my grandmother. At first, I thought the quarantine would be a great opportunity to rest and maybe to pick up a new hobby, but online classes have taken pretty much all my time and I am – if not more – just as tired as I was before school was closed.”
“I removed my rings but one. Bracelets, and watchbands, anything a virus could stick to and, by some inbred
genetic need to trick me to scratch my nose that exact moment, to allow it
to enter my respiratory column,
to feed.”
“Somehow, I felt responsible
that my rage and envy
had mutated
into a virus,
caused a global pandemic
and that I was
the Queen of Corona.”
