The Photo

Photo description: For my blind/visually impaired friends, there is a car suspended in air, and it’s a sign for a diner.
The Inspiration
I swear I wasn’t going to write anything about the virus and the ensuing dystopian novel in which we all now live…but seeing the photo brought the perfect idea to mind. Maybe I’ll have another go at it and write a second story, but for now
The Story: Suspended High Above the Ground
Word Count: 100
Genre: Dystopian
Until the pandemic, I moved through life joyfully. Then that nebulous presence took away the road and left me suspended in air.
Now, I dangle, unable to resume my trajectory.
Yet, from up here, I have a new perspective. Much as I loved the road I traveled until only a few days ago, I can’t navigate it in precisely the same way I did. I must adapt and pursue my course from a new vantage point.
Surprisingly, I see from up here that I am even better equipped to pursue my purpose and passion than I was before the calamity.
Thanks for reading!

I like this take, Ronda. It wasn’t the in-your-face take on the pandemic…

No, it was too high up in the air to be in your face! But it is how I am feeling about things, even with all of the craziness. Thank you so much!

Well, the virus itself and all of the isolation in and of itself is not positive. But we can take any experience and choose how we respond to it. Thank you for reading.

Dear Ronda,
How refreshing to see a positive spin on all the mishegass. Although I am weary of virus stories, this one (dare I say it?) took it to a new level. Thank you.
Shalom,

Thank you so much! Honestly, I did not intend to write any kind of virus story. But I did feel it was something that is in fact true for me and also needed said. Thanks for commenting and for reading. Stay well!

The virus certainly is the influence on many of the stories this week. Hard not to think about it.
