Covidlockdown Stories

Distance has the power to enstrange even a child from her mother, so can it let romantic lovers last long? And how long can they even try to hold up? But. But maybe the distance that drove them apart can bring them close again when they are forced to live together. Who knows? Maybe one good can come out of the lockdown which is plaguing every life. Maybe the whimsical music playlists and highlighted lines can save a relationship. After all, beautiful lines are always the most powerful and music can save lives. There's a whole lot of maybes here. Emily and Warren wanted the music to end right away, but infinity is not here and the music only ends at infinity. ___________________________________________________ "𝐈 𝐬𝐨 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐞́𝐝 𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫.

What do you do when on a cold and grey December morning you find yourself on a tropical island? What do you do when suddenly 36 hours of your life are missing? What do you do when a shrieky girl is chasing you although you're into guys? What do you do when the stinky boy who's been sitting next to you for a year turns out to be an attractive, sexy young man? What do you do when you notice there's a ghost in your house? What do you do when another lockdown is announced and you don't want to spend weeks and weeks all alone? What do you do when your uncle's boyfriend is so damn hot? Well, sometimes you have choices, sometimes you don't. I'd like to thank JP for his time and patience he invested in editing my story and correcting my stupid mistakes.
