Quarantine Quest

It's been three days now since you've stepped outside your door.

Outside, disease is raging. The government has warned all residents to stay indoors, to shelter in place; a week ago groceries were still considered essential, reason enough to venture into areas of contagion armoured with mask and gloves, but last you heard "reason enough" no longer existed. Keep your doors and windows closed, they said. Starve out the disease. There was some talk of chemical sprays being released from helicopters to combat whatever infection lingers in the empty streets, but you're pretty sure that one was a conspiracy theory

Regardless, here you are: trapped in your flat like a hamster in its cage. It wasn't so bad while you still had a hamster wheel – that is, a gaming console and a computer with internet access – but the power went out at some point last night, and in a stroke of extremely unfortunate timing you forgot to charge your phone just one night too many. You have no idea what's going on out there. Your closest thing to social contact is your own reflection in the mirror. And until the power comes back on, you're going to have to find a way to entertain yourself.
