Covid 19 experience

My family experience with Covid 19.

Honestly, this is just me venting.
Times are scary , and luckily for us we were able to get through it.
At the beginning of April, my aunts husband was tested positive for covid19 and my brother was at their house about two days before . When he came home and when we knew my aunts husband tested positive, i took him to get tested and my mom stayed at my grandmas until his results came back. me and him both self quarantined until the results, each day my aunts husband got worse and worse. his symptoms were so bad that there were points my family was scared he wouldn’t make it. A few days later my brothers results came back positive as well and honestly, being that i was the only one at home with him that whole month of april self quarantining, it was the scariest experience of our lives. each day i woke up scared fearing either my brothers symptoms would get worse , or i would start to develop symptoms. A week later , my other uncle tested positive . so now we had three immediate family members sick and the fear and anxiety had only risen. Other than fear , we also felt beyond lonely being that me and my brother both were quarantined and self isolated away from our parents and everyone we love, each day watching the media which only caused our fear to grow. at a certain point i started to develop symptoms as well, thankfully mine werent as bad as my uncles. Just coughing a bit of fever, and headaches. Falling asleep at night was beyond hard. Some nights i woke up in the middle of the night in cold sweat. having chills. with so much anxiety. Honestly, it was the scariest thing ive ever endured because theres still so little to this virus that we know. After over a month of literally quarantine and not leaving even our front apartment door , when we finally were cleared to go out , i feel like we both developed so much appreciation. We were lucky beyond measure to have made it through , and thankfully everyone in my family had been cleared since and despite how rough certain times were , we made it through. being inside for over a month without fresh air or seeing the ones you love is the hardest thing ive personally ever had to go through, everyday was filled with fear and anxiety.
From my aunts husbands experience where he literally was fearing that he wouldnt make it through each night, im here to tell everyone who may doubt the truth or doubt the seriousness of this virus that it is a very real and scary experience. I still see people gathering in groups and honestly its not worth the fear its not worth the anxiety to not listen to the guidlines is a mistake.
i wouldnt wish this on anyone, i wouldve never thought we would live to see the day this happened or even experience it ourselves.
i hope everyone has a safe and healthy summer , listen to the guidelines, social distance, wear a mask , stay away from large groups.

the little old lady

decided to post this here for everyone to see and tell me what you guys think!
The little old lady

A quiet night in Kosovo, in a little town called Ujz.

It was a quiet summer night in the little town of Ujz. My brother Tomar and I were sitting on our couch when we heard a loud banging noise on the door. When we go to see who is at the door , we see nothing.. A few hours pass. We go upstairs to our bedroom and lay down. The banging at the door starts again. Tomar goes to the balcony to look over at the front. I think to myself , how can anyone be at our door right now , when we already let the dogs out. Our dogs are our protective dogs that will bark and tear anything or anyone apart who and what isn't us. My brother opens the balcony door and sees the dogs huddled up around something near our door….. He looks closer and sees a little old lady.

Tomar quickly goes to wake up my father. 

I can't help but think , why aren't the dogs barking? Why are they so calm?

My dad wakes up and goes to the front balcony. He asks “ who are you? what do you want at this hour of the night?”

The little old lady just stares and smiles. She then starts laughing. She says “ let me in”.

My father yells at her to go home and get away from our house. 

“I'm a good woman,” she says. “ let me in” she says as she laughs.

“ if you were a good woman you wouldn't be out here at this time of the night you'd be at home with your family”

She has one of those scary laughs and grins to her. My dad grabs his shotgun in an attempt to scare her. He's never seen this woman before and we live on private land , how could she even get up here? The loud banging at the door starts again. The little old lady laughs.

“ Let me in,” she says again. 

My dad fires his gun into the air and warns her again

“ If you don't get off my property , I'm going to come down there” he says in an attempt to scare her away.

Again we hear loud banging at the door. This time it wont stop. The banging does stop until we walk down the steps and get to the door. My dad opens the door…

Noone is there. The dogs are just sitting calmly. My dad walks out and walks down the driveway after turning all the yard lights on and no one's there. We get chills as we lock up the door when we get back inside. My dad goes upstairs and warns us to stay upstairs, and go to bed. He doesn't want to acknowledge what just happened. Me and Tomar go upstairs and go to bed.

The next day we wake up to our mom making petulla, our favorite breakfast. As were eating, we heard breaking news on the TV. Me and Tomar stay in the kitchen while dad and mom go watch. We hear a gasp, My dad calls us over. When me and Tomar go to the living room , we see a picture of the little old lady on the TV.  

The headline states “ Elderly woman found dead after three weeks in crops after going missing. Detectives discovered the woman died two weeks ago after getting lost and the cause of death was still unknown”.

My dad , Tomar and I all look at each other… 

The little old lady was a ghost…

Author's notes: 

When this family hears a knock at their door in the middle of the night they weren't expecting this. What started out as a creepy little old lady, turned into being a ghost experience for this family. Could it be? The little old lady was haunting the houses of the people in Ujz? 

This is a short scary story. It takes place in Kosovo in an old fashioned little town called Ujz. I am from Kosovo so i know how their mentality is so writing this story i knew i had to add some of that in there which is why they didn't let the old lady in. 

This is a response to Gabriela. The poem Gramercy Park takes place in Manhattan. I think the poem is about the attack on the World Trade and the eyes are looking out and the eyes looking in at the people stuck inside the buildings.



This is a response to Shiann.  Very encouraging poem during this pandemic. Humans need to stop worrying and enjoy nature and life. Beautiful.



This is to everyone that blogged about the creative writing class. I really enjoyed our class I wished we could’ve finished out the course together. I looked forward to the blogs to see how individuals can read the same story and come up with a different interpretation.  The critiques  was helpful it improved my writing skills and gave me feedback on how to improve my writings.

Experience In This Class

I'm really happy that I took this class it was different from any class i've took because, we we're free to write what we pleased. It was a challenge to come up with something interesting to write every week but it was a good challenge. This class pushed me to be more creative and be more confident in the things I write. Now, I feel like I will continue to write more after this class because it was fun to freely write a poem or a story without restraints. My writing has improved to me since I started this class and it was nice to work in groups and help each other improve. 

My experience in Eng 220

This class  was very helpful to me towards my writing skills, and it also enlighten my knowledge of writing. My first time taking a class like this, I participate it and hopeful I will be excellence at writing one day.As well as that, this class was a nice class with all the group activities we did , reading and discussing.

This poem was too much, the inappropriate words mention throughout throw me off ... However, I wonder why the author choose to watch the divorce party?and mention "A woman and a dog ?
