Day 4 of Lockdown

Today I have spent the day having my dad 2 metres apart from me at the living room table, as my co-worker for the day.

I have done 7 exercises today, which included, one going out for a mile run. Nothing stops me from doing my daily exercise. The instructions you should use for lockdown are: Only go out for essentials, such as food or medication. exercise or essential key working. I went out for exercise. It does, feel strange having to work from home.

However, my morning started with snoozing my alarm at 6.30am and then waking up for around 8am to be ready to work for 8.30am. I had a banana (brain food) for my breakfast. Then we started work together. We also had a snack of chocolate brownie to energise ourselves to carry on and I couldn't turn that down anytime soon. I also had my head phones on listening to the likes of Disney or Olly Murs, whilst, typing away on my laptop. First thing I did was check on my colleagues, as well as, to see how their day was going. I wrote a lot of words on something for someone at work today. I did a lot of work and only stopped to go for a run or to do one of the 7 exercises, or to have lunch. I only did 1 minutes worth of overtime, as well.

I haven't been to work, yet I still feel tired. To all those home schooling I hope it is fun!!!

Here's a few rules you should follow to make a good home school:

1. Use their old timetable from school to help schedule their day.

2. Get them to use some school equipment to help you, such as their planners on red or green.

3. Give praise point with rewards such as, sweets or 10 minutes worth of an activity they like. Use the naughty step or separate them if need be

4. Try not to shout and speak calmly to them instead.

5. Try to do a Period of PE at least twice every week.

6. Don't forget to have a break both you and your kids and do not have a glass of wine whilst you are having a break.

To which I say GOOD LUCK!!!

I have, had a significantly good day all things considered. Also even though, there is the corona virus going around and I feel really healthy. I have been sneezing as, it is a hot day and I suffer with hay fever. This does not mean, I have a 23-19 though. I still giggle at that though for those of you who have not worked it out here is the calculation that says COVID-19=23-19.

DIVOC-19

IV in roman numerals is 4 0 doesn't count and C is the 3rd letter of the alphabet and D is the 4th letter of the alphabet.

4+4+3= 8+3=11

Corona comes in packs of 12

11+12 = 23

23-19. Which is related to Monsters Inc where if you get a humans piece of clothing or toys on you then you have a 23-19, AHHHHHHH!

But one of my favourite songs today has been Mother knows best from Tangled.

For she does say one of the things to fear outside is the plague and she was right.

Anyways, sh! Whats next trust me pet, here is the chapter 4 to my short story.

Chapter 4

The explosion. The one, the end of days!

This was the one; not any family could ignore.

A bomb was due to hit, all the threats had become real. It was going to hit a large area of America. Everyone had to take shelter in bunkers all over the country.

Present day.

In the mansion, lavender and Sam came running down the stairs with back packs on. Steve the butler took them all to the local shelter. Underground. They had already been there over 5 times in one year for minor bombs and they always came home the same. Piking up ruble and getting on with their lives. They all thought this would be the same. All expect, mistress Nailliv she knew this would be the same. It was so much bigger.

The entire world bigger.

They met lavenders family underground. They all sat in the same flashing red room as before. Lavender had Ricky and Sam either side of her. Their back packs latched/glued to their backs.

Survival kits for what was about to come but out of pure childishness

Sam had deliberately not packed half her clothes and packed her favorite china doll Lilly. She didn’t want to lose it, as before it was hers it was Lavender’s. The last one her dad had ever given her, it was too precious to leave behind.

They all sat in front of the wall, away from the doors. Sam was hugging her mother and lavender was hugging Ricky. They kept hearing a loud bang. One after the other.

Bang!

Bang!

BANG!

Dust began to fall from the ceiling after the largest ‘BANG!’ However, at one point the noise they were hearing didn’t sound like an explosion. It sounded more like a large footstep. Like someone very was walking on top of a grave and then another sounded more like a Rawr.

More and more dust fell from the ceiling and cracks formed in the ceiling. Lavender looked up swearing she saw a green in between those cracks. Then whatever it was lifted and all those shone through was the daylight. Then smoke came through.

Everyone began coughing was this the end?

Lavender tried not to be scared for her son, but on the inside her heart was thudding. It wouldn’t stop. There was more to this she looked to lavender mother. Sam had a quivering lip and tears running down her face.

Lavender looked up and saw the ceiling cracking even more.

Just before…

That was it the ceiling caved in on everyone. Lavender looked up just as a large piece came crashing down on her stomach. She lay there slumped over. With a piece of the ceiling crushing half of her stomach. Her bone trying their best to hold structure to the rest of her body. Her heart trying to survive.

Smoke and dust filled the room after the ceiling collapsed.

Everyone collapsed from the air filing with terrible smells. 1 hour later Sam was the first to wake up.

Oh so she thought. Her mother was gone. So sam ran and she ran into monsters. She saw lavenders body and thought she was dead. That was it there was no hope left.

Next to wake was Ricky he thought the same of his mother and ran but hid as he ran into two many monsters.

Groaning the tunnels of the shelter was filled with the noise some formed a word.

ROTTEN!

That’s what we had become, ROTTEN!

Rotting beneath the ground, no matter what happened to our souls after death. That what we always turned into after death, rotting old corpses. But what happened to our bodies after our souls left.

Well now we find out.

Now we know for sure what will always happen

Will they rise and will they hunt, or will they just sleep without a soul. No wonder why we feel empty sometime. Why we feel those corpses long for brains. Even though they have no soul left to feed.

Here is the development of the illustration I did for chapter 4.
