Virus

Sophia knew she was lucky.
She knew she was lucky she hadn't gotten sick yet. But was she really lucky? Was she that lucky with a sick mother?
It wasn't like it was her fault that the devil, also known as the Coronavirus, spread all over Wuhan and the entire U.S., and...But it was like it was.
Ever since her mother had gotten sick, everyone had avoided the family.
Sophia didn't like it.
But there was no cure.
And everybody knew that.
The news of the sickness spread like wildfire, and there was no stopping it. Once before, before the virus, before anything and everything, it was perfect. Sophia's wishes were granted by a tap of her wand. But that was before. When she and her sisters would go out and play without a second thought about masks or Covid or quarantine.
But she was lucky. In a way, at least.
Lots of her friends had moved away, thanks to the virus. Lots of students and parents had already fallen. But what she didn't know, was that her family was next.
