Most stories begin in a particular setting at a specific moment in time. Different characters appear along the way, carrying the reader on a journey to a final destination. The End.
This story, began in March 2020 when life took an unexpected turn. Closed till further notice. Corona virus, Lockdown. Set in Brussels and for the most part in the neighbourhood of Anderlecht, the characters in this story are the people next door. Ordinary people, in the distance, just humans, vulnerable and fragile. Working heroes and warriors of solidarity. Life is but a dream. This story, has become a diary, absurd and upside down. It is essential. And we are still waiting to arrive at our final destination.
‘Together, not alone, what happened next…’ an ongoing diary.
March 2020 – April 2021
