Red flowers

April 9, 2020 | Dhaka | 20-29 years

I saw that a friend and I were sitting in an old buildings verandah, overlooking a big field with trees that grow red flowers. We were discussing regular life stuff like what happened at office today. But even inside the dream when I looked outside at the field that stretched wide and empty before us, I felt like so much has been wiped out and so much more left to be wiped out by covid. I felt the red flowers whispered at me saying we are the ones the world lost, we are the ones who died from the virus and from henceforth we will only come back in spring in the form of these red flowers.

Note: Dreamer says, “I have been getting sick with anxiety during the lockdown in my town and on most days, after reading the news or after waking up, I feel like I am stuck in a post-apocalyptic movie's sub-plot and this is how life will be for me forever.”
