20202022collegecoronaviruscovid19
2020, the supposed year of revolution and fulfilments of dreams. It featured in the dreams and hopes of many thinkers of yesteryear as the ultimate year of realisation of their imaginations. On the eve of 31st December 2019, people celebrated the end of a year, a decade, and the beginning of a new one. They made jokes about "bringing the roaring '20s back!", but were careful to add "but just the pleasant parts", as an almost afterthought. Some would call it fate, others would say it's a mere coincidence. Whatever it is, humanity was not prepared for this whirlwind of a year that was 2020. In the first week of 2020, the Third World War seemed imminent. But, by the end of January, it was the last thing on everyone's mind. For then, we had a fresh problem: a previously unknown virus that had gripped an enormous chunk of the Chinese population. They named it the Novel Coronavirus. It spread faster than anyone could've imagined and soon, it established its presence in every nation. In 2022, with the last COVID-19 patient discharged from the hospital, the WHO declared that the pandemic had ended. The human race has survived the pandemic and made it through, but will it ever be the same again? (DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH)

Cyberpunk Fantasy Ancient Hope // Tribulation : Singularity Cover art by: https://www.patrickennisart.com/ A story of 3 "sisters", from 3 different walks of life, growing together, with technology and compassion; through a shared crisis created by the worlds combined patriarchal religions, who's new leader is out for full spectrum domination. This near future unlocks the potentials of genetics and artificial intelligence in this science fantasy of a young girl and her father who discover how to create legendary creatures; which could cripple the automotive industry if they become the new standard of personal and public transportation. Meanwhile, her affluent mother continues an affair with a bishop who aspires to be pope. Ancient Hope // Tribulation : Singularity is meant to be a story that follows a pattern of exponential growth, much like the real technological singularity itself. You should also know that exponential curves begin so slowly, it almost looks like a straight line. So, please don't be surprised when the 2nd and 3rd parts, tribulation & singularity, are both, years later, and filled with many more characters. Special thanks to Ken Poirier, who has been encouraging me to be on this site for over a year now, or just finish my book in general for years longer. Upon seeing how Ken uses this site, and how he serialized Love and Hamburgers, I too intend to release my story in a serialized version of my completed story, here on Wattpad. This seems like a fun place to work on the last of my finishing touches. Further, the story needed to be altered slightly as well, as it's a story of the near future, where when it was written, had no thoughts of Covid-19. I'm not looking to alter the fundamental nature of the reality I created for this story, but the only thing worse than writing about it, is to ignore it's existence and the ripples this stone has cast.
