A Delicious Meal in an Epidemic Nightmare

Everywhere she looks, there are people with masks walking hastily in all directions avoiding each other’s gaze as if by a sole glance the virus would jump from the contaminated and possess the fresh healthy host. She was aware that she must keep her distance; a safe space of nearly 2 meters from each person she encounters, but people keep violating that vast personal space. It’s not like we have one of those large sidewalks that would make avoiding people less stressful. However, every time she passes dangerously enough near someone or when she accidentally stood right next to a random person at the grocery store, she tries her best to hold for as long as possible her breath, so hopefully she won’t inhale the deadly virus-charged air around him.  

What does it mean to be Human?

Before humans, earth was only occupied by a wide range of unconscious species; living creatures that are not conscious of what they are or where they are. They definitely care even less about what surrounds them, and they don’t bother to understand why the trees grow or to weave myths and stories to justify seasons change. They are plainly indifferent as to how their bodies function, how the universe works or even why they exist in the first place. They are just surviving; they eat, drink, sleep and mate to sustain their race. They are purely and solely satisfying their biological needs.
