Imagine that inanimate things have come

to life. Write about what they do and say.

6C Leung Cheuk Ning

The railway station was a place full of great hustle and bustle, there was noise and commotion
everywhere. Everyone seemed to be in a hurry. COVID-19 and a blue mask were arguing in the railway station.
COVID-19 furiously shouted, “Hey you, move out of the way! I am infecting this human.”

“I will not run away, I need to protect humans under any circumstances!” said the mask with justice.
COVID-19 said, “Think of why you are here. If I did not exist, you would not be here! You should listen
to me.”
The mask replied,” Sorry, I can’t. I will work together with humans and I will not give in.” Both of them could
not come to an agreement.
Thus, COVID-19 decided to take another strategy. “Humans are selfish, even if you work hard to protect
them. They will throw you away after a few hours. If you work with me, you can take revenge on those wasteful
humans. Isn’t it better? Besides, I am invisible to humans. Even if you protect them, they wouldn’t know it and
they won’t thank you,” said COVID-19.

The mask replied, “I would rather be an unknown hero than a famous villain. If humans work with me, it is
already the best gift for me.”

Facing multiple failures, COVID-19 mumbled,” You have been covering their faces for a long time, you
should be exhausted already! Why don’t you relax a bit, slip yourself under the nose?”

The mask replied with anger,” I can’t! I need to fully cover the one’s mouth, nose and chin, in order to
protect him.”

COVID-19 said, “Then how about you leave some gaps?”
The mask repeated, “Of course I can’t! I need to stick closely to his face or you will have a chance to
slip through.”
At last, COVID-19 gave up. It waited a long time on the human’s hand, waiting for a chance to infect the
human. However, it was flushed away when the human washed his hands.
