Doctors and nurses on TV 24/7, giving advice on COVID-19, do’s and don’ts. All my brain got out of it, nurse fetish mood for a couple of hours. Spent browsing Mr. Skin’s site for hot scenes of actress in nurse outfits. Sixteen pages, had to go through all of them to get to my favorite one.
Amber Smith in a nurse outfit from movie How to Be a Player.
Then I spent four hours watching youtube videos, mostly on coronavirus. Lots of conspiracy theories floating around. I guess that’s why I got this idea for a horror story.
Here’s just a frame, an outline. Maybe I’ll be stuck in this quarantine for such a long time that I’ll come up with all the dialogues as well.

Let’s say, it’s set in Washington DC, USA. We’re in a living room where Johnny, age 8 is watching TV.
And now a special announcement by the President of the United States from the Oval Office.
Dad, dad, dad, it’s the president.
“My fellow citizens…. These are dark times… We’re in a war against an invisible enemy. This virus doesn’t care about your race, your skin color, your religion, and as we’ve seen in the case of the U-strain mutation, it doesn’t care about your age either. We’re all in this together. According to our panel of scientists, who’ve done extensive simulations and tests on how to beat this enemy, our best and only hope to win this war is to cut off its source of reproduction... “
In short, the plan is to lock up everyone, either in their houses or in fallout shelters. Set up timer locks on every door, and if scientist were right, we should come out of it victorious after, I don’t know, 30 days when we’ll have the new address to the nation from the White House.
So, Johnny, his dad, and rest of the family were welded in their house. With a 30-day timer lock on their door. I don’t really know what they did for those 30 days, likely another tale on itself.
The lock goes off after 30 days, bright sunny day, birds are singing, a light breeze, the smell of fresh in the air… Johnny and dad go out of the house, the streets are mostly empty, a few people here and there, the couple is slowly walking towards the White House to hear the president’s announcement.
A couple of hundred meters from the White House Johnny’s dad sees his co-worker (something distracts him), greets him, starts chatting with him, while Johnny makes a few more steps towards the fence.
Dad, dad, dad, look!!
What? What is it?
One, two, three… five. Why is the flag red and only has five stars on it?
