Chapter 1: Wandering
You are home all day. Because COVID-19 has closed everything. But you can't actually stay home all day long. You want some fresh air. You need to stretch your legs. And so the wandering starts.
You go outside for walks. Realy long walks. Sometimes with your friends, sometimes alone. The hour passes by, marching through the streets. Dancing through the parks where kids ride their bikes and parents happily catch up with eachother. Maybe you got a coffee earlier and you take little sips every now and then. You wander around enjoying the fact that you're out of your house, of your own damn room. But, is it just that?
Yes, you wander around walking. But, have you noticed that we wander around in life too? The pandemic has put our lives on hold and it's not ending any time soon. We don't go out on dates, we don't see our friends at gatherings, we finishing university online, we don't work and those who do work, they 're working their *sses of. We wander around with no meaning, just to pass through the day.
Honestly, the only thing we can do is be creative. We let ourselves' creative side take over and we dance, we sing, we write, we edit, we do collages, we binge-watch films and series. All of that indoors. All of that alone.
I really enjoyed the mood and depth in your story, it paints such vivid imagery.
It made me think how powerful it could be as a visual piece or c0mic.
I’m involved in visual storytelling, and your work caught my attention.
