Gill tightly clenched his toes and his fists as these seemed to him to be appropriately affirming additions to the foetal position his body had involuntarily assumed in deep dank darkness. He lay there permitting but not encouraging the chills to dance on his lower spine; their prosaic prickly pirouetting an unpleasant but welcome distraction from the withering winding wi ...[text shortened]... g sweat stench...”lockdown’s a bitch when you’re coming down, ain’ it?” his fellow prisoner sneered.

It could be the opening paragraph of a novel (which I thought it was). Flesh it out – we could sell it.

It will require quite a bit of fleshing out to turn it into a novel.

That's what Fitzgerald used to tell Hemingway.

Shops in second hand items had a field day during the lockdown. Many people cleaned up their attic, garage and storage room. Stuff that was hidden from view for decades resurfaced and ended up in the second hand stores for a second chance at life. Not all stuff was so lucky because lots of it ended up at recycling centres to be reused and made into different stuff. I went twice to a recycling centre, both times there were waiting lines of over an hour and during those hours I contemplated my own second chance at life.
