RE: A Halo of Thorns 8- Microfiction in the Age of the Coronavirus

Well this just captures that feeling of uncertainty perfectly

The funny thing is that every drink and every bite that I take feels as if it's my last.

I go through this a good few times a day - should I eat this now? What if i can't get more? I'm savoring things more, eking things out, taking smaller bites, smaller sips, making every bit count. Just in case. But hey, we might all come out of this getting more satisfaction from the little things, like good coffee and turkish delight. I very nearly bought a bottle of turkish delight gin before all this (which if you like the sweet, you will likely love) and keep thinking about it in that shop too far across town to go to. Until I can, I think I will join you in letting the clouds drift by and enjoying what I have :)

Yes, this is the range of thoughts and emotions that go through me when doing even the simple things. Going out to a store is pretty much a dangerous quest at this point. It's a rollercoaster of emotions. I do have a sweet tooth, so when this is all over I will check out the Turkish delight gin that you recommended. Looking forward to better times. Thanks for visiting, @letalis-laetitia!
