Mask Up !

 
"Jeez! Why is everybody staring at me?" muttered Alisha as she chewed her gum frantically when she dragged a cart into the store, "Hope, I wore my pants?" and she quickly gave a downward glance at her legs, "Phew! I can't forget the day when I stepped out to water my plants in just my panties."



A tap on her shoulder, "Excuse me, Miss. You need to mask up!" 


Alisha was apologetic, and with a gaped mouth, she quickly pulled it from her purse, "Gosh! This is the new norm, and it's high time I embrace the new change." 



 In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story to reflect the theme, “ready for a change.” Who is ready and why? How does the change unfold? What happened to initiate the change? Go where the prompt leads!

Sometimes the opposite happens, you get stared at for being the one who is masked.
Nice topical flash!

Ruchira, I was still forgetting my mask after the first year. Some new habits are hard to learn. Smiles...
