 ALTERNATIVE ' CINDERELLA ' 

Once upon a time there was a happy family  living in a small village.Two years before a pandemic had started.Coronavirus had become the public enemy number one! People all over the world had had a two- month lockdown and they had needed to wear the facial mask in public and to keep the distance of two meters between each other. Not everybody had complied with the rules  and you had had to hear different opinions as : " The coronavirus doesn't exist!, It is a made-up story to keep us in line!"; " The mask is a muzzle and it is useless!"; ''Why do we have to stay inside?'' ; ''The vaccine is not good! It is only a way to inoculate a chip to control us!'' 

The family had one child named Cinderella and they lived with her grandparents from her mother's side.Because of the virus the children hadn't gone to school and the lessons had been online. At one of  these classes when she looked at one of her classmates,Erick, she felt butterflies in her stomach and by accident she pressed the red phone button . She left the lesson unintentionally ! In that moment she burst into laughter. What a funny situation, but what an intense feeling! Right then her mom rushed into her room , holding her phone, showing her the absence she had at that class. Poor,  poor Cinderella! Her zen fainted and it was all on the floor. No butterflies left, only an absence in the gradebook...

A mom is not a good one until she punishes her child:( . B.T.W ., do you know what she did? She made Cinderella wash the windows, dig the garden, prepare pickles, paint her room... Poor, poor Cinderella! A

And all of those before 4 pm when she was supposed to go to a party in Snagov Residential Area. Impossible mission! She decided to run away because she didn't have time to finish all those tasks and her mom was in the second shift, anyway.

But 10 pm was the new midnight.During pandemic you had to be inside at this time.She lived twenty kilometres away and ,of course, she had to call an Uber. She arrived at the party around six pm and when she was climbing up the stairs she saw that one of her  van sneakers was ripped off.  While she was looking at her footwear, prince Erick appeared out of the blue and grabbed her arm . In a few seconds he backed shocked when he noticed she wasn't wearing the mask. " You aren't welcomed at the party if you don't wear a mask! You should respect yourself and the others!" Cinderella was so upset, that she lost her sneaker on the stairs and she got on the waiting Uber only with one. No one will ever bring back her van...Not during this pandemic!
