I am finally feeling better. Word on the street is that another variant of Omicron is in circulation. Double-masked for a while. The new normal. Yesterday, I received a package from Brian; it was a set of legal documents for him to have administrative rights over my late father's estate.

2020
A sudden fracture within the norm gave way to an unexpected tragedy. A single infection shut down the world. Despite the unprecedented events, we sought peace and equality.
