Lockdown Diaries

In March 2020, the world was in panic as COVID-19 becomes an outbreak, infecting millions of people killing more than a hundred thousand ( records increased to millions in August 2020)... Suddenly, our daily routine has changed, as everyone were obliged to stay in their homes, never allowed to go out.... We are all in LOCKDOWN... The very reason this book was made. This year marked one of the most horrifying history no one will ever forget, with the world being attacked by an aggressive murderer, an unseen enemy killing millions... No, this is not a sci-fi movie we dread to watch, this is reality... The cries are real, the deaths are real, the virus is real, invading the bodies, killing people... And if we are not careful, we can become one of its victims... As writers, we want to record this event to inform our future generations, if we, by chance, will be able to survive this fate... The prose, short stories, and poetries included in this book are written by writers of different ages, of different level of education, of different backgrounds, and of various countries, all joined to share their thoughts and experiences while being lockdown in their homes... I have to preserve and record their writings through publication... For our children, and children's children... Some of the more than 100 participants are not professional writers, they are amateur writers open to criticism, but their thoughts matter and should be shared... Let us explore and discover their experiences inside this book called, "LOCKDOWN DIARIES". By Marites RitumaltaPublisher
