Hiya! I wrote this short story when I was bored: :)
STRANGE TIMES- By Julia Urban
The end is near but do not worry, stay seated be happy.
Don’t worry about the crashing and booming just stay seated and relaxed
Don’t worry about the bombs, the bullets and the death, the unending death.
Just stay still sip your chamomile and hibiscus tea, breath.
Be calm make your mind go blank.
Don’t worry, don’t stress be unaffected. See everything through rose-tinted glasses.
There is no such thing as pain or suffering. Don’t worry about the endless, unwavering passage of days as they sweep by you when you can’t even remember one thing that you did during them.
You grow, you age, you mature people keep telling you to not worry about the past, look forward to the future, “but what about the present?” you say.
What about the pessimistic thoughts that circle you. What if there is no future for you?
Unperishable thoughts meander through your mind but then you remember the one thing that keeps you going, keeps you going through every breath you take; that dream, that you, insignificant you can make a difference.
In this world of 7.53 billion people, you are living an ordinary life in a seemingly utopian bubble, you can be the change, the spark that ignites a revolution stopping hunger, suffering (pause) climate change, inequality, a global pandemic. But then you remember who and what you are, how minuscule you are, a grain of sand on a beach. And you think to yourself, “it’s not my problem, it has nothing to do with me,” and slowly your dream shrivels and your life goes back.
Back to how it always was mind-numbing, with not a care in the world. You hear an innocent girl was shot in the middle of a war-torn country and an innocent man snuffed out because of the melanin in his skin, and you don’t even blink an eye and unknowingly you smile, your mind swept away by other thoughts. As you go on living, your plastic wrap-like bubble hardens and thickens like an impenetrable container, as little by little everything humane slips away from you. You sip your chamomile and hibiscus tea; the world is perfect through your eyes until you walk down your street and a bullet pierces your heart... Not even your bubble is able to save you.
Veeeery good Julia! You should post it on Goodreads creative writing!! It's fantastic! 💕56. Download loads of games then delete them because they are boring and you only downloaded them because you were bored.
