My first attempt at a story like this went in a direction I didn’t intend, but this one will stay more on track.
I welcome feedback and thoughts in the comments. Thank you for reading.
Quarantined with Kell
Part I
I walked down the front steps of my apartment and dropped my suitcase and overnight bag on the sidewalk. The moving van had cleared out a couple hours before and I had borrowed a vacuum from my neighbor to give the place a once over before I grabbed a quick shower and headed down to the sidewalk.
I was going home for a couple of months. The quarantine was coming, so my parents had offered to have their kids come home to ride things out with them. I was going to move back in to the room I had occupied as a kid, and my sister Bridget and her fiancee, Ethan, were going to be in the guest bedroom. We would all be working remotely until things settled down.
It didn’t make sense to pay rent on my apartment while I was gone, so I terminated the lease and stored my stuff.
