Wild Neighbours
by zanya
Jake opened the curtains. An unfamiliar silence reigned.
Warmer April breezes stirred the apple blossoms.
Lockdown was not as awful as he feared. He would skype a few buddies later.
Placing his cup of steaming coffee on the table, he opened his laptop.
The balance sheet was still untouched.
Newsflash, 332 more cases, overnight, from the deadly virus.
He heard a loud, scratching sound at the garden gate. Peering out, he spotted a pair of antlers. Third sighting in as many days.
Slowly a smile spread across his face, as he whispered,' New neighbours. At least not from hell.'
