TWO NEW WORDS
It was in deep quiet, that he had returned to his friend's planet - Earth. They had promised to keep in touch by siman, but he was never one who liked wrist watches, those times he had sojourned on earth. So he just never got around to keeping in touch. But he knew his friend Adam would welcome him anytime he wanted to visit back.
Where were the cars, the buses, the trains, the aeroplane noises, the men and women walking the dogs.
What was happening to his friend's blue planet earth?
As he walked a familiar path; the words he once met came to mind again “What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow out of this stony rubbish?” In short where was everyone, what was happening.
Later at his friends house he met with the words pandemic and lockdown. © gillena cox 2021

You had me going for a bit, thinking the apocalypse had commenced. Still, the tale works, and tragedy does not quite rule.

Like Glenn, I thought this was post-apocalypse, but I suppose it is in a way.

Gillena - in light of the pandemic, this makes perfect sense - empty streets! Some of my favorite pictures during the pandemic have been those with animals reclaiming streets where they once roamed freely! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
