Many many years ago in a land far away, existed heaven. It was my home. I remember waking up that morning overly excited for the very famous, death metal band, Covid-19's concert.
I was a security guard at Gate 1 of heaven. Today was going to be the best day of my job. Preparations were on for the gig on the very next gate. I gazed at it in awe with a child’s curiosity and loved the entire hula hoop around it. One of those rare days I couldn’t wait to get off duty.
Quick as a wink, it was 7 PM and I found myself standing in the front row. A sea of immortals outside Gate 0. The entire heaven was present. Over here everyone was high, high above the ground and high off the drug of life.
Enter the lead and he starts with his famous line, “dedicated to all those who did not believe in us when we started!!”
Bam!
I woke up. It could be a dream or a nightmare. Up to me to decide what to make of it. The clock was ticking at 12 am, March 10. I drank some water and quickly ordered a pair of masks and sanitizer right away.
It was going to be a long haul. But I was awake.
