Hell. That was a word used to describe the covet nineteen pandemic. Especially by frontline workers who witness the worst of the infectious disease at close range. Here in the US, in January of 2021, just about a year after the first case was recorded in Washington State, cases suddenly surged nationwide. And it's not difficult to understand why. social distancing, mass, isolation, that type of behavior, it's not normal. Those restrictions human beings aren't supposed to live with them.

One we hoped would heal the pain of covet. But instead. We created a monster. A malevolent entity. With a mind of its own. And for those unlucky enough to get in the path of this monster. They found themselves staring down the very thing we all thought we'd escaped from.
