Reena is the host of Reena’s Exploration Challenge
Welcome to much-awaited 2021! Wish you all a very Happy New Year, brimming with creativity and more freedom than you had in the year that passed away!
+1 is always good. 2020+1 seems better. I hope we are able to say Thank You, 2021 — You were the best.
Well, we go ahead with the Exploration Challenge, as usual, finding a way to connect with your brilliance every week. I’ve just changed the cover pic, just for that feel of something new.
PROMPT #167
I woke up in 2021 ….
Take it ahead in any manner you like – fiction, fantasy, poetry, essay, reflections or art.
➰➰➰➰➰➰
I woke up in 2021…….
And was totally disoriented
Loud bangs and fireworks were going on in the streets
Throngs of people celebrating the new year with joy and excitement
What was going on, and why people were intermingling without fear
I couldn’t see and masks around or social distancing
Is this the same world where I went to sleep in 2020?
Or have I woken up in an alternate reality
Was this a wishful dream or will I wake up to a nightmare
What will it be?

Keep it alive 
Unfortunately it was probably true in many places. Too many people are still being very unsafe… and filling the hospitals up.☹

Each person has a different threshold for living in compression. I guess some are willing to take the risk. The point is they put others at risk too.

Exactly my point Reena. What most don’t see is that it WILL change, if not instantly then with time. Thanks for this thought provoking prompt

😮 Huh? What was it that cause you to wake up disoriented in 2021?
Nicely written nonetheless.

Thanks Renard. If things are completely opposite of what you expect, disorientation is natural!
