When we set our clocks forward for daylight savings time this spring, who knew we’d instead enter the twilight zone? That shoppers would fight over toilet paper. That I’d have the time to clean the junk drawer but still wouldn’t. That I would view a repair man coming to fix the toilet as a dress-up experience or that dress up would mean yoga pants instead of pajamas. That I’d long to shop at Walmart. Who knew I’d flinch when a friend sneezed? That leaving the house to make a supply run would rain down danger. Who knew that I would die?
Yes indeed. Who knew?
So true!!
That went from philosophical to spooky. It brings it home though. Well done
The month everything changed… Succinctly said! Thanks, Lynne.
You got me with the single word “would” in the last sentence – it’s surreal.
Don’t you go yet!!!
A nice balance of nostalgia, humor, and emotion.
Well said, Lynne. You put into words what we have experienced and felt but couldn’t express as well as you have expressed in this short tome.
Lovely story written in the backdrop of the Corona pandemic. The concluding line is what makes the story so touchy and meaningful.
very nice pacing and sense of humor. You make it all very relatable.
