Scattered

By Lana, age 10

2020, March 4, Covid-19 has started. When we heard the news, everyone scattered home, and the streets were soon empty! My mom was truly worried, but I don’t blame her! Hearing that is scary, especially out of nowhere. Later, my sister, my dad, and I went to see how deserted our streets were and saw all the closed shops!

I couldn’t tell if people were worried, sad, mad etc. but I thought I knew we’d be back in a few weeks… Well, maybe a few years??

I wouldn’t say it was exciting to hear the news, but it was definitely exciting to hear we were going to start to do Zoom classes! I couldn’t tell if people were worried, sad, mad etc. but I thought I knew we’d be back in a few weeks… Well, maybe a few years?? But, here we are, not under lockdown, only digging at the crust of the earth for a solution. Sometimes, I forget what life without Covid was, but it was definitely more exciting than what we are doing now! Don’t get me wrong, there’s lots of things we can do with Covid clinging to us, it’s just not as animated as what we used to do! I, myself, wish for life to be back to normal soon, and for everyone to be safe.
