Bored in Quarantine
- a Short Story
- by Jethro André Jolliffe
I was too bored with my life in this Quarantine, so I wanted to do something. This is a lil convo I had with my brain-
Me – I’m bored
Brain – you always are, tell me something new
Me – So let’s do something
Brain – ok but what?
Me – anything…
Brain – anything must have a name
Brain – Netflix?
Me – Seen mostly everything
Brain – How about drawing something
Me – are you sure you are my brain right?
Brain – ok sorry forgot
Brain – talk to friends
Me – are you kidding me?!
Brain – what !!!
Me – I do talk !
Brain – saying hi and getting a hey after 3 hours is not talking
Brain – Go study
Me – Not happening
Brain – Music?
Me – heard 1000 songs on repeat for a month!
Brain – ok! Then what do you wanna do ?
Me – let’s just go to sleep.
Brain – cool!
