Day 49
Oh, my God! We need to be two meters apart on the street. This works of course, if you walk in the same direction in a single file, but what do you do if you have people coming from the opposite side?
"You jump!"
"What? Who is that?"
"It's me, your Shadow. I couldn't let you go by yourself."
"Two meters?"
"Nah, not between us. We are family, remember?"
"OK, let's walk then. Today is a beautiful day and I really need some fresh air ... before the weather becomes cold again."
I was happy and walking in the sun with no care in the world. I almost forgot about Coronella. Suddenly, my nightmare comes to life. From the opposite side another man was walking towards me and there was another one approaching from my right side. I looked at the street: I couldn't walk there, Coronella or not, there was still traffic. We all stopped in our tracks, each of us calculating the options. The one from the right decided to jump in the street and run on the other side of the road. The other one did what my Shadow predicted, he jumped in the tree. I was the lady in the story, so graciously I incline my head to both men and did an old fashion aristocratic curtsy and smiling I said:
"Thank you!"
Both men answered in the same time.
"No problem! Have a nice day and stay safe."
Do you see Coronella, even in these harsh days people are still acting like people? Thank God we have not lost our humanity.

I am using Coronella instead of Corona, I think is sound funnier:)
