This time last year we had no clue that the world would close down.
This time last year I finished teaching my Xtreme Hip Hop class packed with people.
This time last year I came home, went to bed, & expected to do what I had always done the next day.
This time last year I was still visiting my family.
This time last year, life was still the normal that I knew.
Who knew that this time last year would feel so distant from what we know now.
Who knew that this time last year would be such a blur.
Who knew that we would still be here, a year later, wondering when it will end.
Who knew? This time last year…
It’s the 14th annual Slice of Life Story Challenge!
Head on over to Two Writing Teachers
and see what the rest of this year’s slicers are up to!
Love the Grey! 
This slice gave me chills. Your format fits the topic really well. I will look forward to read how things progress when you write this piece a year later. All the best.
I love what you did with the repetition–with one phrase repeating for the first half, then changing the refrain, and then ending with both together. Such a perfect structure for this piece!
These are all the things I’ve been thinking about lately. It’s still mind-boggling isn’t it? ;-o ~JudyK
I love the cadence of your piece and the memories we can all relate to. Like many, I have asso been thinking of the before, durring and perhaps one day, the after of Covid.
It is so hard to believe it has been a year. If you told me it would be this long, I would have told you that I couldn’t do it. The human spirit is very resilient, but we have certainly been tested this year. I hope when we look back next year, we will have more joyful memories.
Your use of repetition really worked here and did add to the ominous tone. I am glad I have my notebook from last year so I really can look back and know what we didn’t know. I look forward to reading today’s entry a year from now and sure hope to see a big change!
