Its mid April and New York City looks like a ghost town. Kim and her dog Max have recently heard about this virus that is spreading worldwide. The coronavirus has scared Kim so much that all she does is spend her days at home. The fear of getting the virus has made Kim stock up on groceries for herself and Max, and even toilet paper because she says you can never have too much. Kim tries to come up with as many activities as possible to keep her and Max entertained but nothing seems to be working. Days drag out so to pass the time, Kim decided to video chat with her friends and family while in her comfy pajamas since there’s nowhere to go at the moment. They catch up on daily about the latest updates on the virus and keep one another company so that no one feels alone in this time of uncertainty.

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!
So true on the toilet paper bit; you can never have too much!
This honestly sounds like an extrovert hearing about the virus and freaking out that they won’t be able to stay at home for an extended period of time. Sounds like an actual thing that happened to someone
This has the feel of a virus movie description, and that’s cool. You could possibly continue going down that road with a more dangerous virus than reality.
I enjoyed how descriptive the story was, from telling us what you do all day to stocking up on groceries and essentials.
This story was very descriptive. It also relates to current times really well, and this story describes what the pandemic was like when it first started.
