John’s life has completely changed over the past year. It’s 2020, or maybe 2021 and he went from being able to freely play sports with friends to now only seeing outside through the window of his room. The pandemic, Covid; the main culprit as to why everything has changed. John can see its fingerprint on everything he use to find so dear. John can no longer even see his family in person due to fear of contracting the disease, and has to rely on technology and webcams for interaction. He doesn’t know when things may turn for the worse so he stocked up on essential items. He did this because he remembers the panic everyone went to when this all started, but he’s use to it now. He stares out the window wondering if this is the new normal

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
I liked your short story. I am curious to see the picture for this one. I don’t know if the picture was covid 19 related or you just tided it in with that but still good piece.
Question: Was the fingerprints in the picture?
