Breaking The Curfew: Part 1: Why Aren't You At Home?

Paul is a Freshman at a Kansas high school and he feels bored at how things are currently going. Although he is smart, Paul becomes laid-back and apathetic for his school life and just wants school to be out. Sooner than later, however, Paul's dull and anticlimactic school life is turned upside down as a pandemic, driven by a highly contagious and deadly virus, ravages the whole world. Paul and his family, as well as citizens across the United States and in other countries, are awe-struck yet traumatized that they are forced to confine to their homes in a strict lockdown in hopes of stopping the spread of the virus. While Paul takes in account what is going on in this heavy state of dystopia, crises such as racial injustice, radical police enforcement, nationwide violence and confusion, and much more create a stronger sense that this is a tough and very deep hole to crawl out from. Paul realizes that things will never go back to normal, as seen through an irresponsible President running the country and the embarrassment that followed the failures of vaccine development, but only one can be so sure. Will Paul ever return to school? Will the protests and violent riots ever stop, or will the pandemic become eradicated before it becomes irreversible and permanent? Read on to find out how Paul handles it all.
