Chapter 18 virus

Day Two Lockdown

"The next morning, I woke up and went down the stairs to have my breakfast, and there were ten cats on the kitchen table next to the fridge,"!

So, I shout, "ALEX YOU LEFT THE BACK DOOR OPEN AGAIN"!

Sorry, mum, I didn't mean to leave it open, and she said look, I'm sorry for yelling at you, Alex, it's just too crowded in here with 654 people, and we cannot carry on like this?

So," She said, why are the people here you know that they can still go to work and school? It's just the hole is here protecting us from getting the virus,"!

And Alex said, but I can't go to school, because mine is outside of the hole, and if I take one step out, I could die?

And," she said, come on, it can't be that bad because everyone else I this house goes out of the hole every day,"!

"And I said, but they are in cars, aren't they"?

"And she said yes, but we have a boy in this house who walks it"!

So, I should get you back to school.

"So, I said to mum, could you take me to school, please"!

And she said but Alex I'm too scared of going unexpectedly out of the sphere because I will get the virus.

So Alex said fine I would get my best friend Uncle Eddie to take me because he's not scared of getting a virus, and mum said look that's no way to talk about my dad like that.

And I said, but mum doesn't you remember 20 years ago there was a virus called COVID it was here when I was 17, and now I'm 42 it is 2038, and I'm scared.

And I said I hoped that this virus doesn't get worse than the illness from 2020 and I said well I'm going to keep in touch with the president of London because he should be keeping this virus safe.

But it's mostly in the rest of the world London is safe to remember because we have this Blue sphere stopping it from getting in.
