"The Fear"

Sarah is seemingly floating through her apartment, dancing while cleaning. She's pondering about the pandemic.

Sarah: I'm done with all of this.

Barely leaving this place. Not doing anything. "And it's not my fault." We're in a pandemic. I'm cleaning the same 20 things because "it's how I'm programmed to function."

Wake up, work, eat, work, eat, binge everything, clean, and then go to bed. Doing it over and over again.

From my window "I'll look at The Sun" and wonder how many more times I have to be watching it from in here. How much longer is this going to go on?

When did I start looking away from my reflection? "I'll look in The Mirror" and then immediately look away. How many times am I supposed to look at my own face without getting bored?

"I'm on the right track." And we, I mean as a society, keep thinking "we're onto a winner," but are we? Who really wins in all of this? The people who never got it or who didn’t lose anyone to the virus, those making money off the pandemic, the people who could just keep being low-level positive, those who kept their houses and their jobs, or is there some other metric?

"I don't know what's right and what's real anymore." Lucky for me that Fiya and Bunny can come over sometimes, but that's not going to last forever. Are we friends of convenience because we live in the same complex or is it more, will we continue dinners when this is all over? "I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore." It's all the same - it's frustrating, it's exhausting, some days there is hope and then some days it seems like it will all implode. "When do you think it will all become clear?" That all of this will be over?

"'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear" and I'm done with it.
