It has been three weeks of being on my own, three weeks of serious loneliness. I quite enjoyed being alone. Now, a sequence plays on loop in my head, where I fall on the tiled floor with a thud, hit my head, and that’s the end. Nobody comes to my rescue, nobody dials 108 for an ambulance.

Why the Weight of 2021 Feels More than 2020
