Chapter Five

This is all so crazy.

One day, things are as normal as can be, and the next minute, life just gets flipped upside down.

Now, social distancing is the new norm. Face masks is the new norm. Testing is the new norm. Stay at home is the new norm.

I’m not really a fan of all these new norms!

I’m healthy enough, why do I need to follow all this crap they spread in the news. The president says it won’t last long and that we’ll be back to business as usual before too long, and I believe him.

He said we’ll get another stimulus check and I believe that, too.

So what if the stocks are down? I don’t invest. So what if I’m laid off. My unemployment check is more than what I would normally make in a week, so I’m good to go. None of this won’t last much longer.

This stay at home order is crap!

I go where I want—when I want!

Who the hell are they to tell me what to do?

Get a life, people. This thing is almost over. The President said as much. Right?

Damn straight.
