Happy Damned Easter...and screw you Covid-19...
Bryce Main
Multi-genre author, mostly Crime fiction. Scottish. Been writing longer than I’ve been wearing big boy’s trousers.
I woke up this morning and realised (yet again) that the world I’m living in now isn’t the one I was living in a year ago.
There was the world before COVID-19…there’s the world during it…and there will be the world after it.
Large bits of it will look the same, give or take, as they did before.
And even larger bits of it will never look the same as they did before all this shit happened.
But one thing’s for damned sure.
We might be going through Hell.
But we’re sure as Hell not staying there.
We’re not a species that believes in taking things lying down.
We’re not a species that believes in bending over and getting well and truly shafted.
We’re a species that believes in coming out fighting…till the very last breath.
Till the very last ounce of strength.
Not just for ourselves…but for each other.
That’s how we survive.
That’s how we beat the things trying to be us.
And that’s how we flip the middle finger up at anything that tries to take away the life we worked so damned hard to build.
So screw you COVID-19.
Today is Easter Sunday.
It’s a day the world celebrates for a million and one reasons.
Every single one just as valid as every other one.
So I’d like to wish every single one of you...young, old, somewhere in the middle, every colour, denomination, size, shape, and sexual persuasion under the sun and the moon...a Happy Damned Easter.
For today…tomorrow…next week…next month…next year…and every bloody year from now on.
Because survival isn’t about me.
It’s about us.
Always has been…always will be…

They're all very similar but completely different. You'll find Ad Hoc here: https://amzn.to/2Nx8GL8. You'll find Ad Lib here: https://amzn.to/2kd4LKf.

4 年It is the right message for this weird time we’re going through. As a person that fly kits on Easter Monday as a symbol of the resurrection. I too am pissed that they’ll be no one flying kits this year. Anyway, as you rightfully put it. We’re going to win this one, and when we do I’ll be out there flying my kite. As the Pink Floyd lyrics reads... “Shine on you crazy diamond”.

4 年Oh it was the loss of optimism that made me feel tired.
