The assignment was:
“You are writing this entry in May 2024. The world has been in lockdown for more than three years. Besides sporadic trips to the grocery, you have not seen the outside world.
Your exercise is to write a piece about your three years in lockdown. It can be any form or genre you like. Have fun.
