My dystopian future
Saturday December 26 2020 Marks the spot. This appeared over my house. #truestory No more waiting to be marked. My spiral has closed.

Wednesday November 11 2020 The school bus pulls onto my street, then passes by as I wait at the end of my driveway to join those commuting to their obligatory destinations this morning.

Sunday April 19 2020 Sundays are our usual grocery day, mostly because I buy lunch meat for the week’s sandwiches and I want it as fresh as possible.
