At first, they thought it was fun not to go to work or school, then it became a game as to who could get away with not abiding by the rules. As the years progressed, it turned to despair as everyone was forced to stay in their homes.
There were virtual classrooms and offices everywhere, like the holograms in the science fiction television programmes from the 20th century. They became so real, eventually
no-one saw a difference, or wanted to. They were safe in their own little world as no two worlds met, mingled, or merged. You could exercise, shop, and meet up with virtual people from the comfort of your sitting room at the push of a button.
Procreation was by mail order, sperm samples being collected by drones and delivered to huge conglomerate establishments for analysis and elimination. Pregnancy was in a laboratory, and subsequent offspring cocooned in skyscrapers never knowing their ancestry, no more than lab rats in a gilded cage.
Yet still infection took hold, the disease mutating to adapt to each new host.
The toxic clouds rose above the skyline.
There was no other choice now.

About pensitivity101

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes! In November 2020, we lost our beloved Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney. We now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of Kizzy, my GSD when Hubby and I first met so had hers done too. On February 24th 2022 we were blessed to find Maya, a 13 week old GSD pup who has made her own place in our hearts. You can follow our training methods, photos and her growth in my blog posts. From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives. We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.
