Story Challenge

The Pandemic

A global pandemic causing people into quarantine and lockdown is an exceptional situation that can bring people to resort to exceptional measures. It can bring the best and the worst out of humans. This challenge is meant to tell these stories. ***Note:*** This is **not** about Covid-19! You can use any kind of pandemic as a background. The effects and results of the pandemic are absolute free for the author to define! The pandemic itself can but doesn't need to be related to the actual mind-affecting part of the story.
Besides the usual rules on this site, a story submitted for this challenge should: * The story must be based around some kind of global pandemic. * The authors are not shown until the final results are up - to keep up the suspense! * The whole story must be contained in a single submission, it's not possible for one author to submit more than one story! * The story should not exceed 10000 words.
Submission deadline: October 11, 2020 at 11:59:59 PM GMT
Final standings available!
