The Fifteenth Day
The morning wake up call. A loud blaring in my ears and I pulled down the sheets to hit snooze before another trigger. I spend a few minutes cuddled up in the sheets. My family was away at 'home' and I had prompted to stay at the apartment, when lockdown struck. Since the era of the pandemic, everything was distant, virtual and online. Well I wasn’t occupied, so it was a quarantined day. Alone all along... I make my bed, freshen myself before I tie my hair in a messy bun and walk up the corridor into the living room.

They say that this world is a big stage and we all are the performer here. I also agree with it but want to add one more thing, that each scene is a one take act.Sometimes when we look into our past memories, we find many moments where we acted so immaturely out of confusion and that resulted in humiliation.
