Submitted to Contest #84

When the lockdown hit, it found Damien at the lowest point in his life. He lost everything he once held dear. He was failing his education. His relationship with his parents was strained. All his friendships turned into acquaintances and eventually even that evaporated. He did not interact properly with another human being, heart to heart, for more than half a year now.

Although I had a mask on, I disregarded the discomfort – the necessity of wearing it came first. I have been living by myself for the last few months, something I had always wanted.

Submitted to Contest #77

I urged the wolf-dogs on, hoping to finally make it. It has been almost a week since last I made it to any kind of house. I liked the white fields, filled with ever present snow.
