This is a draft of a vignette idea I had come up with and wanted to write. I only finished the rough script of the dialogue, and I don't think I will finish it (adding the narration and actions). I quite like it though and don't want it to go to waste, so I'm posting it.
My notes state that this was written 29th March 2020.

“ I can't feel my legs anymore. It feels strange. ”

“ Insufficiently. ”
“ When tragedy comes, I say it's the world, but I can never really blame it. ”
“ For because it is unfair, it is fair.
They've tried all they could, I did my best.
Perhaps we don't have to,
no, not anymore ”
“ I'm glad you're here.
You can still try; do your best. ”
